Abstract:
The article discusses the origin of the surnames of the Tual society of North Ossetia. According
to folk legends, many surnames of this society traced their origin to the legendary Khetag, while
some surnames connected their roots with the name of the ruler of Ossetia Os-Bagatar. The purpose
of the work is to determine with the help of archival documents of the 19th century the origin of the
surnames of the Tual society, the descendants of Khetag, Os-Bagatar, etc., the reconstruction of their
genealogical tree, obtaining information about the representatives of the surnames in question, as well
as identifying their socio-political status both in their society and in Ossetia as a whole. The object
of the study is the Ossetian surnames of the Nar, Mamison, Zakin, Zrug and Zaramag communities,
which constituted a single Tual society. To fulfill the tasks set, unpublished archival sources are
introduced into scientific circulation. These are the documents of the "Committee established under
the Military Ossetian District to analyze the land and personal rights of the natives of this district",
family lists compiled by the representatives of the families themselves in 1859-1860 and 1871-1872,
genealogical trees, various kinds of petitions addressed to officials of the Military Ossetian District
and the Terek Region, etc. Based on archival and published sources, variants of the origin of the
surnames of the Tual society are considered, and a number of surnames that claimed noble privileges
and proved their rights on the basis of folk legends, letters of Georgian kings and documents of the
Russian administration in the Caucasus were identified. The research materials allow more thorough
and profoundly to study the genealogy of Ossetian surnames and can serve as an additional source
for studying the history of North Ossetia.
Keywords: Tual society, North Ossetia, Russian Empire, genealogy.
