Peoples's Names: A Cross-cultural Reference Guide to the Proper Use of Over 40, 000 Personal and Familial Names in Over 100 Cultures - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
The kind of reference guide that sidetracks researchers in the library stacks and can be an invaluable aid to fiction writers searching for just the right nomenclature for a Turkish character. The volume lists contemporary and historical names from almost every world culture and country, including each group's specific naming rules (the family name is put first in Japan, Korea, and Hungary) and a pronunciation guide. The breezy essays beginning each section are snippets of historical information and cultural tidbits. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Reseña del editor
Tens of thousands of names from almost every culture, contemporary and historical are included in this unique reference work. For each cultural group's onomasticon, an essay outlines its rules for naming, if different from English, along with its use of family names, gender specific names, and name order. A listing of at least 50 first names for each gender and at least 100 family names is then provided for each culture.
