Abstract:

This book explores international trends in naming and contributes to the
growing field of onomastic enquiry. Naming practices are viewed here through a
critical lens, demonstrating a high level of political and social engagement
in relation to how we name people and places. The contributors to this
publication examine why names are not only symbols of a person or place, but
also manifestations of cultural, linguistic and social heritage in their own
right. Presenting analyses of geographically and culturally diverse
perspectives and case studies, the book investigates how names can represent
deeper kinds of identity, act as objects of attachment and dependence, and
reflect community mores and social customs while functioning as powerful
mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion. The book will be of interest to
researchers in onomastics, sociology, human geography, linguistics and
history.
