| Abstract: | This study examines, through a comparative prosopography, a class of patterns in similarly sounding names and surnames (first and last names), or sometimes involving a middle name. These are full names that stand out, phonetically, in that both the name and surname begin by the same vowel, and whatever the next vowel is, it is followed by a consonant being the same in the name and surname. That is to say, the name and surname share a C1VC2 beginning. We examine an Italian prosopography of people bearing such full names, as well as a prosopography of Anglo-Saxon, French, and other names that match this pattern. We also consider such items that it is not the name and surname, but the first name and middle name or the middle name and the surname that share a C1VC2 beginning. |
