This paper explores the principles of forming onomastic space in the city of Astana using “godonyms” (street names). Using an analysis of historical archival documents, resource books, and theoretical and empirical research in onomastics, the formation of the modern “godonymic” space of Astana was examined, and the principles of naming policies in different periods of the city’s existence were revealed. Directing the focus of research toward naming policy issues in the city is fully justified because of a number of problems regarding the naming and renaming of cities and streets that demand an immediate solution. In this respect, Astana, as the young capital of Kazakhstan, is of particular interest. The godonymy of Astana is a holistic historical and cultural phenomenon, in which each era has left a noticeable mark, which characterizes not only the semantics, but also its structure. As analysis of the research material shows, the street-naming system of the city has undergone tremendous changes. The reason for this is huge transformations, dictated by geopolitical, cultural, social and economic priorities.
