Abstract. The article discusses the theoretical aspects of the analysis of the phenomenon of ethnonyms, their typology and functional significance. The author substantiates the consolidating importance of endoethnonyms, their necessity for the formation of the value system of an ethnic group, and their understanding as part of traditional culture. It is noted that exoethnonyms are more often becoming generally accepted and widespread ethnonyms, they are usually influenced by geographical, socio-cultural, and political factors. The problem of the correlation of the ethnonyms “Crimean Tatars” and “Kyrymly”, which is acute for the Crimean Tatar discourse, does not allow this definition to function fully: the historical, ideological, socio-cultural, normative foundations of ethnicity associated with the ethnonym are limited, threats to the subjectivity of the Crimean Tatars are created.

Keywords: endoethnonym, exoethnonym, ethnonym, Crimean Tatars, subjectivity.
