This article examines the use of kinship systems of Turkic peoples as a source for studying ethnogenesis and ethnic history. The author analyzes the structure and terminology of blood kinship and affinity (in-law) relations among Turkic peoples, as well as the historical stages of their development. Particular attention is paid to the variants of the word “kayin” (kayın, kaen, gayin, qayın) in Turkic languages as a key element that reveals the lexical foundations of the affinity system. The article emphasizes the necessity of integration between linguistics and ethnography and highlights the distinctive features of cultural and ethnic connections among Turkic peoples.
