This article analyzes the formation and grammatical structure of ethnotoponyms derived from clan and tribal names found in the work “Shajarayi Turk.” The study highlights the role of onomastic conversion and compounding (syntactic) methods in the formation of ethnotoponyms and reveals their historical-linguistic features. It also examines the functional properties of ancient affixes within ethnonyms, their preservation in ethnotoponyms, and their grammatical models. Based on materials from “Shajarayi Turk,” structural types of ethnotoponyms formed through noun + noun, adjective + noun, numeral + noun, and noun + verb components are identified, and the historical, ethnic, and social factors influencing their formation are analyzed. The results show that ethnotoponyms are an important source for studying the ethnic history, migration processes, and genealogical views of Turkic peoples.
