Anthroponymy
Anthroponymy (or anthroponomastics) is the study of the names of human beings.[1] The study of anthroponyms (from Ancient Greek ἄνθρωπος anthrōpos, 'human' and ὄνομα onoma, 'name') is a branch of onomastics. Linguists and researchers in many other fields take part in anthroponymic studies, including anthropologists,[2] historians,[3] political geographers [4] and genealogists.
