About the Book

This edited book examines names and naming policies, trends and practices in a variety of multicultural contexts across America, Europe, Africa and Asia. In the first part of the book, the authors take theoretical and practical approaches to the study of names and naming in these settings, exploring legal, societal, political and other factors. In the second part of the book, the authors explore ways in which names mirror and contribute to the construction of identity in areas defined by multiculturalism. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to onomastics, and it will be of interest to scholars working across a number of fields, including linguistics, sociology, anthropology, politics, geography, history, religion and cultural studies.

Review :
“This collection undeniably offers ground breaking insights, not only for university researchers but also for the students and general public because of its broad range of information, data, expertise and interpretation concerning multicultural onomastics. Without question, this volume deserves an important place on the shelf of everyone with a curiosity about how the tapestry of names employed by one group in time and space can be wondrously interwoven with the properties from another language, culture, religion and ethnicity.” (Leo Loveday, Voprosy onomastiki, Vol. 19 (1), 2022) “The resulting publication is admirable … . overall has excellent content and clarity of presentation. … it is a rewarding pleasure to have this book in one's hands.” (Paul Woodman, NAMES, A JOURNAL OF ONOMASTICS, Vol. 70 (1), 2022)
