Among the Turkic-speaking tribes inhabiting the territory of Kazakhstan, the Kipchaks are the
only state that occupies a special place in the process of formation of the Kazakh people and has
great significance in its political history. After the independence of our country, our history took
a new direction, and many studies are directed from a new point of view. Among them is the
history of tribes that played a special role in the formation of the Kazakh people. Many tribal
unions and states that inhabited the territory of Kazakhstan had a great influence on the
formation of the country's roots. One of these political unions was the Kypchak tribe and the
Kypchak state. The study of the origin of the ethnonym "Kipchak", the original name of the
Kipchaks, who lived in the historical-geographical region of Deshti-Kipchaks and had political
influence and large numbers among the Turkic tribes, attracted the attention of not only domestic
historians, but also foreign historians and linguists. Our research article is designed to consider
the history and meaning of the name "Kipchak". For the history of Kazakhstan, valuable
information about the history of the name Kypchak and its political connections. Because
according to historical data, the Kypchak ethnos exerted its influence on the formation of the
Kazakh name. The reason for this is that the Kazakh language belongs to this Kypchak language
group. Despite the collapse of the Kipchak state, the tribes that were part of it continued to live.
They fought for the independence of their land and country for a long time, starting with such
Kipchak heroes as Bashman, Bayan and Zhiku. Before the Mongol invasion, the tribes living on
the territory of Kazakhstan had a common language and culture.
