Annotation. The article is devoted to the issue of self-designation of the Crimean Tatars. Among the Crimean Tatar people discussions have been going on for a long time on the topic of the true ethnonym: Crimeans or Crimean Tatars. Defenders of the “Crimeans” version claim that this ethnonym is historical and more accurate. Is it so? We analyzed historical sources and described the results in the article.
Keywords: Crimean Tatars, Crimea, ethnonym, ethnography, history, history of the Crimea.
