Abstract
The main idea is to discuss if the names and numbers have direct meaning or they may be based on the connotations that are hidden in the names. In western culture names may consist of two main elements like the name “William”, it means “Wille or will”, or resolution and “helm”- or helmet, as the result of that the name “William” means “will helmet”, but not the “helmet” of the will. Classification of the names according to their thematic function may be done in two ways 1 on the basis of the denotative meaning, here we mean logical subjective meaning or direct or denotation of the names. There we include natural geographical names of the economic regions, just the names of the people without connotative meaning or in its direct meaning. 2 on the basis connotative meaning, so the names may be associated with different events, peculiarities of the social life of the people, with cultural motivation of the people’s life. There are a lot of such names in the epic “Manas” There is a connection and motivation between the names and what they mean. The names of the things that Manas used have interesting origin and it is connected with the adjective “white”. They are: his military army is possible tool “Ak Kelte”, his sword “Ach Albars”, his bird “Ak-Shumkar”, his horse “Ak Kula”. What is in the name? It expresses semantic, cultural, and personal peculiarities and a phenomenon. Given names may suggest a virtue or a character trait, topographical feature, an occupation, or even a Biblical, historical, or mythological figure. It is interesting to note in the epic “Manas” that every name has its interesting origin from the historical as well as from the mythological point of view. As the result of that the translator have to know about the background” of the Kyrgyz culture in the naming of the people
