Azerbaijanization of surnames

Have you ever heard of a country called Azerbaijan? It's a place where people live and have their own language and culture. Sometimes, people in Azerbaijan change their last names to be more like the way their language sounds.

You know your name, right? It's what people call you. In Azerbaijan, sometimes people want their last name to match the words and sounds in their language. They might take out some letters or add new ones to make it sound more like Azerbaijan language.

It's like a dress-up game, but instead of dressing up your body, you're dressing up your name to match your language better. Just like when you put on a silly hat and it makes you feel different, when people change their last names it can make them feel more like they belong to their culture.
