anthroponym

An anthroponym (Gk. anthropos, 'human', + onuma, 'name') is the name of a human being.Anthroponyms often preserve lexical elements that have dropped out of the standard lexicon of a language. For example, the English name Fishburn preserves -burn, from an older , an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "", which has dropped out of standard English usage.Anthroponyms also easily pass from the language of origin into other, often unrelated languages.
