| Abstract: | The study investigates anthroponyms in Jordan, tackling questions related to gender, ethnicity and the conventions involved in the naming practices. Lists of the top 50 names for female names and top 50 male names for the years 1945, 1955, 1965, 1975, 1985 and 1995 were used to identify morphological and phonological features of feminine and masculine anthroponyms. Political, social and economic factors affected the naming practices that had undergone considerable change since 1945. Conventional and unconventional aspects in both feminine and masculine anthroponyms were identified. Further research on the role of gender in naming processes is recommended. |
