Abstract
Abstract:This article investigates the evolution of Arab personal name formulas in the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant since the early days of Islam. We chronicle three periods from the five-component formula of the classical period (550–1600 ce) to the three-component formulas of the neoclassical Kuwaiti period (1600–1960 ce) and modern period in twelve countries (1960–present), as well as the two-component formula of the Islamic State (2014–present). We discuss the three modern name components and recent onomastic changes in Kuwait, and outline how some name formulas must have gradually evolved over time. Diachronic and synchronic differences in name formulas reflect national, political, social, and gender distinctions as well as perceptions of social identity.
期刊介绍：
Anthropological Linguistics, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification.
