| Abstract: | In a companion article, I examine the pattern of iterative names from Italian. These are such personal names, that the first name is a singular form of the family name. Or then, the family name can be put in relation to a first name, and a particular family bestows precisely that first name (in one of its forms) upon one of its children. This brief paper has merely the purpose of providing a preliminary overview of the occurrence of such personal names that may be considered in some respect as iterative names, other than from Italian. Analysis is deliberately minimal. We confine ourselves to a sample prosopography. Several languages or cultures each get a section, but there could be more; e.g., for Georgian prosopography; e.g., Dr. George Giorgobiani is a computer scientist from the Georgian Technical University in Tbilisi. In 2012, Stefanos Stefanou is a government’s spokesman in Cyprus. Sections in this article include: A sample prosopography of English iterative names; A few French iterative names; A few Romanian iterative names; Latinate European iterative names; Scandinavian patronymic iterative names; A few iterative names from the Slavonic languages; Iterative names in Arabic and other Islamic cultures; A smattering of iterative names from various Jewish cultures; Examples from the Israeli onomasticon; Similarly sounding first and last names; Rhyme and quasi-rhyme in personal names. |
| Key words: | iterative names, prosopography, comparative anthroponomastics, similarly sounding first and last names (names and surnames), rhyme in personal names |
