Abstract:

This book fills a gap in the literature as it uniquely approaches
onomastics from the perspective of both anthropology and linguistics.
It addresses names and cultures from 16 countries and five continents,
thus offering readers an opportunity to comprehend and compare names
and naming practices across cultures. The chapters presented in this
book explore the cultural significance of personal names, naming
ceremonies, conventions and practices. They illustrate how these names
and practices perform certain culture-specific functions, such as
religion, identity and social activity. Some chapters address the
socio-political significance of personal names and their expression of
self and otherness. The book also links the linguistic structure of
personal names to culture by looking at their morphology, syntax and
semantics. It is divided into four sections: Section 1 demonstrates
how personal names perform human culture, Section 2 focuses on how
personal names index socio-political transitioning, Section 3
demonstrates religious values in personal names and naming, and
Section 4 links linguistic structure and analysis of personal names to
culture and heritage.
