Scythian and Thracian Names from Scythia Magna and Scythia Minor
This list is based on discussions of Scythian names and name elements found in:
The following names are not provided in relation to any gender except in one case (Sagyli). That said, the provided forms of some names may indicate historically masculine or feminine names (albeit potentially through a Greek lens).
A number of names have also been provided by Shaposhnikov as Thracian points for reference or comparison in relation to specific Scythian name elements discussed in the article. I have included the Thracian names with parenthetical indicators—given the cultural overlap with the Scythians, Agathyrsi, and Thracians, it seems reasonable to consider the potential for shared name elements in Thracian & Scythian languages.
However, it is important to note that the author, in other works (e.g., “Etymological Dictionary of the Scythian Language”), argues that the Scythians emerged from Thrace and thus have a Slavic linguistic/ethnogenesis. This runs pretty directly counter to the widespread acceptance of broad west-to-east Scythian migration and a general sense of the Iranic nature/origin of Pontic Scythian language(s).
As a result, use caution when considering any of the names in the following list, especially those labeled as Thracian.
What I have yet to do is track down some of the sources to get a clearer sense of specific time frames for the assorted names on this list, assuming any narrower dating is possible.
