Avlod

Avlod is a term used in several Turkic languages, especially Uzbek, Tajik, Kazakh, and Kyrgyz, where it functions as a noun meaning offspring, descendants, or a generation. The word is etymologically linked to the Persian avlād and the Arabic awlād, forms that denote children or progeny and have influenced many languages in the region.

In Uzbek and related languages, avlod encompasses both immediate offspring and broader posterity, and it often appears in phrases and idioms concerned with kinship and lineage. The sense of generation-to-generation continuity is a common theme in poetry, folklore, and everyday speech.

Avlod also occurs as a personal name or surname in some Turkic-speaking communities, reflecting its cultural resonance with family and lineage.
