Kazakh names are formed in various ways, among which the phonetic method has its own characteristics. The formation of personal names is determined not only by linguistic factors, but also by their social function. This is because personal names are not subject to the law of unity between the object, the name and the meaning, which is inherent in the nature of language. In the process of use, the connection between the name and its meaning weakens, and the connection between the name and its bearer comes to the fore. In other words, the name becomes a means of expressing a specific person. The sound form of many nouns has changed under the influence of both linguistic and extralinguistic factors. As a result, various sound variants have appeared, each of which has developed into an independent name. The anthroponymic fund of the Kazakh language includes names with unclear meanings, artificial roots, various sound variants of the same name, etc. However, these features do not prevent names from performing their main function – naming people. The phonetic regularity inherent in Kazakh anthroponyms was formed in the process of their emergence and development. It has its own characteristics, which differ from the traditional laws of language development. Therefore, in this article, the phonetic method of forming anthroponyms is considered separately. The phonetic regularities of anthroponyms are classified into the following groups: changes in the original Turkic variants, the formation of sound variants of borrowed nouns, the appearance of artificial formants, as well as sound variants that arose under the influence of modern writing norms. These features are the result of the connection between a person and their name and the potential functions of personal names.
