Onomastics

Onomastics (or, in older texts, onomatology) is the study of the etymology, history, and use of proper names.[1] An orthonym is the proper name of the object in question, the object of onomastic study.

Onomastics can be helpful in data mining, with applications such as named-entity recognition, or recognition of the origin of names.[2][3] It is a popular approach in historical research, where it can be used to identify ethnic minorities within wider populations[4][5] and for the purpose of prosopography.

Etymology

Onomastics originates from the Greek onomastikós (ὀνομαστικός, 'of or belonging to naming'),[6][7] itself derived from ónoma (ὄνομα, 'name').[8]

Branches

  • Toponymy (or toponomastics), one of the principal branches of onomastics, is the study of place names.
  • Anthroponomastics is the study of personal names.[9]
  • Literary onomastics is the branch that researches the names in works of literature and other fiction.[10]
  • Socio-onomastics or Re-Onomastics is the study of names within a society or culture.
