Also known as onomatology, name research

Onomastics (or onomatology in older texts) is the study of proper names, including their etymology, history, and use.

AI overview

Onomastics is the study of proper names—like personal names, place names, and brand names—including where they come from, how they've changed over time, and how people use them. It matters because names tell us about history, culture, language, and identity in ways that reveal deeper truths about societies and individuals.
