Settling in Armenia and Georgia, with the creation of the USSR and the process of certification Yazidis received documents and gave them names. They were asked what was the name of the father or grandfather, and at their discretion created new names. In Georgia, the name of the ancestor (grandfather, father) was attributed to the Russian ending - ov or ev. It should be noted that in Armenia the Russian endings were also initially attributed, but later the Russian endings were changed to Armenian yan. So, the descendants of a Shamo, who settled in Georgia, became Shamoev, and his descendants Armenia became Shamoyan. Thus, the origin of the Yazidis - the genus and tribe, by the names of which they recognized each other, was not taken into account.

 

As a result of these processes, representatives of different Yazidi estates, castes, tribes and clans often became namesakes. To this day, the Yazidis know each other only by the name of the genus and tribe, not interested in the name, which they entered in the documents. In the 70s several people changed the name to the name of the tribe.

In the late 80-ies. was the beginning of a trend to change the name on the ancestral or tribal. Surnames changed on the basis of the document issued by Institute of history and Ethnography in Tbilisi. This case was engaged in Ph. D. Pashaeva L. B.

Later in Russia, too, Yazidis began to change their names to the name of a kind.

So there were the names Dasani, Ankosi, Baravi, Sebia, Omarhali, Hani, Pirbari, Katani, Samsani, etc. Many have changed only the end of the names given to them in the Soviet Union, for example: Shamoyan or Shamoev changed the end on Samui, Mgoi, Mamoi, etc., indicating the origin from the name of an ancestor.
