# Chuvash Pre-Christian Names

## Description

This dataset contains over 12,000 given names used by the Chuvash people in the pre-Christian period (i.e., before the 19th century). It's based on **["Dictionary of Chuvash Anthroponyms of the Pre-Christian Era"](https://richfizh.chuvsu.ru/images/dokuments/Dictionary_%20Anthroponyms.pdf)** (A.M. Ivanova, E.V. Fomin, 2020).

## Usage

The dataset can be loaded using the Hugging Face `datasets` library.

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("rustemgareev/chuvash-names", split='train')

# Print the first example
print(dataset[0])
```
**Example Output:**
```json
{
  "id": "avakkay",
  "name": "Аваккай",
  "is_reconstructed": false,
  "transcription": "авак:аj",
  "transcription_latn": "avakkay",
  "gender": "m",
  "variants": null,
  "etymology": ["араб. ‫أب اك ا‬ (Абака) ‘брат отца, друг’ + -ай"],
  "source": "Ашмарин т. 1, с. 38"
}
```
