Keywords:
Anthroponyms, personal names, naming practices, cultural significance, identity, etymology, cross-cultural naming, linguistics.Abstract
This study explores the linguistic and cultural aspects of anthroponyms, focusing on how personal names mirror societal values, identity, and historical continuity. By examining naming practices across diverse cultures and historical contexts, the article illustrates how anthroponyms function as indicators of heritage, social standing, and personal aspirations. It also looks at the effects of globalization on naming trends, where traditional names may merge or compete with modern, cross-cultural options. Additionally, the study discusses how anthroponyms influence personal identity and social interactions, shedding light on the intricate relationship between language, culture, and individual identity within society.
