<p>This study aims at the study of newborn names in Jordan of a sociolinguistic perspective. This study tries to detect the difference in naming newborns in Jordan over the decades - from the seventies to 2015 due to the result of some factors that may have affected the Jordanian society, whether historical, religious and/or social. The data necessary to complete the study was obtained from the Civil Status Department and the Department of Statistics. The data obtained consisted of names of both sexes during the time period from the seventies until the early year of 2015, a random sample of personal names within the same family were also provided. The data was analyzed quantitatively. The study revealed that there is a clear change in the choice of newborn names-male and female-in Jordan, whether a change in sounds or in morphemes. In specific, names during the seventies were strongly linked to the culture and the values, religious or social, in which the people believed in. During the eighties and nineties, names were associated with certain social values, however, some names were shown to be affected by urbanization or modernization. And with the beginning of 2000 up to 2015, peoples directions towards naming newborns changed due to the advent of globalization, associating with development and urbanization, and moreover, the influence of different cultures on the community.</p>

This article focuses on the study of various forms of the vocative case of nouns in the communicative space of Ukrainian public radio. The variety of forms of address is interpreted as a result of expansion of unofficial communication of authors and presenters with politicians, experts, independent experts, ordinary citizens. The paper proves the extensive use of etiquette words "pane", "pani" with proper names (personal names or surnames) and common nouns – names of persons by position, military or academic rank, other characteristics. The author analyses difficulties and typical errors in the use of forms of the vocative case of some male and female personal names or two proper names – personal name and patronymic. The obtained results indicate the new tendency to consistently distinguish the forms of the vocative case of common nouns depending on the sex of the person. The author concludes that the morphological norm, which is the grammatical specificity of the Ukrainian language, returns to the communicative space of the Ukrainian public radio.

Large Corpus

Thanks to the Old Norse literature we have an large corpus of slave names to consider. When analysing these names, we arrive at the unfortunate conclusion that in many (most?) cases these names look like fictious, generative names, created to fit with the thrall topoi in the narrative. This is evident in the enumeration of thrall names in the poem Rígsþula, where all the names for male and female slaves are highly derogatory, obviously to make a statement of these unfree people being firmly at the bottom of society and to be looked upon with contempt. There are some names on slaves which have an origin in Celtic language, which are interesting, and some probably have a historical background. In the will of freed slaves, mentioned before, all former slaves have ordinary personal names that we find among free people. This raises the question if freed slaves took or were given a new, proper and Christian name at the manumission.

Arab Descent

Research on patronym recently focuses only on the names of European and Russian communities. The patronyms that appear are limited to the names of the boys who use his father’s name. Arab descent in Indonesia has a more complex patronymic tradition used for male and female, featuring not only the father’s name but also the grandfather’s name as a patron. To fill the gap, this study aimed to explore the forms and patterns of patronyms in the personal names of Arab descent, especially viewed from gender differences by utilizing the onomastic framework. The dataset was taken from the Pasar Kliwon Subdistrict population data which was retrieved from the Population and Civil Registration Agency of Surakarta City. The biological father’s name is juxtaposed to find out and validate the existence of a patronym in the child’s name. The results showed that of 4,756 Arab descent names, 1,114 people (637 males and 477 females) were found who have personal names containing the names of fathers. Only 150 people (92 males and 58 females) have the name of grandfathers in their names. The names of the father and/or grandfather are generally present after the first name and before the surname. Besides being used to claim community membership, patronyms are also intended to show the lineage and the expression of emotional ties between family members. Patronym among Arab descent in Indonesia presents evidence of how the naming system influences robust patrilineal systems and endogamous marriages.

Abstract Personal names can be specified as male or female in almost all languages of the world. Languages differ, however, whether the sex of the referent is lexical knowledge or overtly coded in the form of the name. Symmetrical systems – with overt marking on both male and female names – can be distinguished from asymmetrical ones, of which one subtype, overt coding of female names, is by far the most frequent. In addition, the morpho-syntactic system of encoding the sex of the referent can be either limited to personal names or use morphological material also employed on other types of nominals. This paper investigates the morpho-syntactic means used for the classification of personal names in the languages of the world as well as the integration of personal names into classificatory systems used for common nouns, namely gender and classifiers.

The article studies the extralingual factors that influenced the choice of female and male names of Uzhhorod citizens during the 20th century. The research draws on the Uzhhorod civil registry books stored in the Transcarpathian State Regional Archive. It has been found out that dynamic historical events (the region’s becoming a part of various states with their language policy), economic, political, cultural and educational changes in Transcarpathia over the centuries influenced the cultural and linguistic situation and manifested in the changes of personal names. The choice of male and female personal names was also influenced by the changes in the population ethnic composition as well as people’s national and confessional identity. The coexistence of more than 70 nationalities and nations, including Ukrainians, Hungarians, Czechs, Slovaks, Russians, Belarussians, Bulgarians, Poles, Romanians, Moldovans, Roma, Swabians, Jews, Germans, Azerbaijanis, Gagauz, Armenians, Uzbeks, etc., certainly influenced the Uzhhorod name repertoire, since it was different cultures, ethnic naming traditions, and various names. Although the religion and ethnicity affected the anthroponymic repertoire and matter for choosing names for newborns, they were not so much significant as to affect the general system of personal names of Uzhhorod residents in the 20th century.

The Relationship

In a study of the relationship between liking of personal names and personality factors, 98 college students responded to the NEO Five-factor Inventory and rated how much they liked 60 different male and 60 different female names on 7-point Likert scales. Each list consisted of equal numbers of common, less common, dated, and rare names. Over-all, common names were preferred to less common, dated, and rare names; less common names were preferred to dated and rare names; and rare names were least preferred of all. Persons who scored higher in Extraversion or Agreeableness tended to report liking more personal names. Higher Agreeableness or Extraversion scores were associated with stronger preferences for both common or less common names but not for dated or rare names. This latter relationship was observed for male and female personal names separately, as well as over-all.

Comprehensive Study

The article analyzes the composition of male and female personal names of Ternopil in the second half of the twentieth century, taken from act records and journals of birth certificates of the city department archive of civil registration of Ternopil City Department of Justice; the statistical organization of the names of the twentieth century is determined, their analysis is carried out. A continuous study of personal names of a certain territory, carried out over a long period of time, allows to identify diachronic changes in the name of a certain territory, the main trends in this case, to trace the patterns of development and functioning of the national directory as a whole. The processes of formation and evolution of person existence are closely connected with the customs and peculiarities of the spiritual culture of the people, their history. The system of our own names, which has developed over the past centuries, reflects various aspects of social, cultural and linguistic activity of the people at different historical stages. One of the most pressing problems of Ukrainian linguistics is the comprehensive study of anthroponymy, in particular the collection of specific anthroponymic material. The name of the city of Ternopil as one of the historical and cultural regions of Ukraine has not previously been the subject of in-depth research. The lack of a comprehensive study of the directory of this region, which would be based on the analysis of relevant material and reveal the dynamics of the naming system, determines the relevance of the chosen topic. The purpose of the work is to investigate male and female personal names of Ternopil in the second half of the XX century. This goal involves the following tasks: - to find out the composition and statistical organization of the name of the city of Ternopil in the second half of the twentieth century; - to trace changes in the repertoire of names, to characterize the composition of the noun of the studied period; - to carry out its analysis of personal names of Ternopil of the second half of the XX century. The source base of our study were birth records and birth certificates. The object of the study are male and female names of newborns in Ternopil in the second half of the twentieth century. The subject of analysis is the qualitative and quantitative composition of the anthroponymicon of Ternopil in the second half of the twentieth century. We emphasize that the term "anthroponymicon" is used to define, first, a dictionary or list of anthroponyms, which is usually compiled separately for personal names (patronymics), for surnames, nicknames, obsolete non-canonical names; secondly, the repertoire of the names of a certain people or society in a certain period. Same as a directory. In our study, we are guided by the second definition. To achieve the goal and solve the tasks we use such basic methods as descriptive, statistical (by a continuous sample of names). The paper involves the method of chronological sections and quantitative-qualitative method, introduced by VD Bondaletov. The technique of chronological sections is that the names are divided into groups, the socalled chronological sections for decades. We resort to the quantitative-qualitative method to determine widely used and underused names. The article systematizes and generalizes scientific ideas about personal names as signs of individualization and identification of the person, analyzes the personal male and female names of Ternopil in the second half of the twentieth century by V. Bondaletov qualitativequantitative method.
