A personal name is the
proper name identifying an individual
person. It is nearly universal for a human
person to have a
name; the rare exceptions occur in the cases of mentally disturbed parents, or
feral children growing up in isolation. A personal name is usually given at
birth or at a young age. The
Convention on the Rights of the Child endorses personal names as a human right. The details of naming are strongly governed by
culture; some are more flexible about naming than others, but for all cultures where historical records are available, the de facto rules are known to change over time.
