Anthroponymy

Since the study of anthroponyms is relevant for several other disciplines within social sciences and humanities, experts from those disciplines engage in anthroponymic studies, including researchers from the fields of anthropology,[2] history,[3] human geography,[4] sociology, prosopography,[5] and genealogy.

Anthroponymists follow certain principles, rules and criteria when researching anthroponyms.

The collection of anthroponymic information includes: inscriptions, documents, onomastics-tax records, dictionaries, phone books, monographs, and websites, which are used afterward for mapping purposes.

Anthroponymy is a socio-cultural tool that can be used to find out about an individual's culture.
