Denominations associated with religion have been the least studied within the panorama of Cuban studies on first names. The few investigations on this subject have focused more on the use of the Catholic saints' names than on the vitality and permanence of names linked to the Bible. The objective of this article is to describe bibliographically, theoretically and methodologically certain aspects of the presence of biblical names in the research on first names in Cuba. The present study is structured as follows: 1) first, an overview of the main anthroponomastic researches that address the religious theme in Cuba (Sánchez et al.,1985; Rosales, 2009; Rabelo, 2020; Campo, 2020, among others) and their characteristics are offered; 2) next, two theoretical perspectives are put forward to analyze biblical names: a formal one, understanding the Bible as a multilingual onomastic inventory; and a motivational one, which is interested in the biblical concept as a reason for selection. From the interaction between both criteria arises the concept of biblicality associated to finished characteristics of the names that evidence with different degrees of accuracy their formal or motivational relation with the Bible; also 3) analyses of biblical names are offered (or outlined) from several perspectives (orthographic, motivational, statistical, biblical) using data, both from elaborated corpora (beginning of XXI century) and offered by previous Cuban researches (between 1980 and 2020). As support for the research, various sources and resources currently available in Cuba are used (or proposed to be used), such as: official documents, telephone guides and records, interviews with carriers, among others; 4) finally, aspects of the study are highlighted in some brief final considerations. In view of the bibliographic review carried out, this is the first article dedicated solely to the study of biblical names in Cuba from the anthroponomastic perspective.

La présence de prénoms bibliques dans le système dénominatif cubain du XIXe siècle est liée à des conditions historiques, politiques et sociales propres à l’époque, comme l’officialisation de l’acte de nommer de la part de l’Église catholique, par les actes de baptême, et l’absence d’un organe d’État pour remplacer ce rôle pendant la plupart du siècle. En raison de ces particularités, il a fallu construire le concept de prénom en usage, pour faciliter le travail avec des documents d’origine non religieuse. Pour identifier certaines particularités sur ce type de prénoms, on a étudié les données de 5287 personnes recueillies dans un document militaire officiel de l’époque. Le travail avec ce corpus a mis en évidence la nécessité d’un processus de normalisation par lequel la variante la plus fréquente a été utilisée pour représenter chaque prénom et, dans des cas particuliers, celle qui correspond le mieux aux normes orthographiques actuellement en vigueur. Après l’analyse de ce corpus, 57 noms simples d’origine biblique ont été identifiés. On a constaté une forte concentration d’usage sur certains prénoms, dont José, Juan, Pedro et Rafael atteignent 2% de fréquence ou plus. La plupart de ces prénoms coïncident avec ceux des membres de la Sainte Famille, les disciples de Jésus et d’autres apôtres du Nouveau Testament, répandus par le catholicisme. En ce qui concerne les prénoms composés, la préférence pour Juan et José a été identifiée, dans la plupart des cas, en tant que premier élément de composition du prénom. Un autre résultat de l’étude a été le relèvement d’un certain nombre de variations orthographiques, notamment des hésitations dans l’emploi de l’accent graphique et, dans une moindre mesure, des variations consonantiques. Cette étude vise, en général, à fournir de nouveaux outils pour la caractérisation du système anthroponymique cubain

To account for the presence of the names of Jesús, María and José, that is, the Holy Family in the community of San Pablito in Puebla, we will begin by discussing the introduction of these names then, we will address their manifestation in Mexican territory and subsequently shift our focus to their particular presence in San Pablito. Being three very old names due to their origin, and at the same time three of great importance, two aspects that draw our attention are: the first, the persistence of these names over time despite what trends predicted in 1970 about their possible disappearance (Boyd-Bowman 1970: 30); and the second, the disparity between them in their attribution, that is, José is by far more common than Jesús and the percentage of women named María exceeds the percentage of men with the name José. We can understand why the names have endured because the Catholic community remains the majority in Mexico, despite the constant growth of other religions. To explain the second phenomenon there are two concepts that allow us to elucidate it which are: latría and dulía.The corpus for this research is based on the information recorded in the birth books of the Civil Registry of Pahuatlán (municipal capital), during the period from 1874 to 1970, consisting of 3094 names, of which 1212 are, or include, the names: Jesús, María and/or José. The socionomastic perspective (Seide 2016, 2020) adopted allowed us to consider factors that provided meaning to the quantification and comparison of the data. Among others, variants of religious, social, political, and legal order. An example of this is the mandatory registration of births in the 40s and 50s and the consequent sanctions for those who did not comply (Peral 2023), which directly impacted the statistics.
为了解释普埃布拉圣帕布里托社区为何出现耶稣、玛丽亚和何塞的名字，即神圣家族的名字，我们将首先讨论这些名字的由来，然后讨论它们在墨西哥领土上的表现，最后将重点转向它们在圣帕布里托的特殊存在。这三个名字因其起源而非常古老，同时也是三个非常重要的名字，有两个方面引起了我们的注意：第一，尽管 1970 年的趋势预测这些名字可能会消失（Boyd-Bowman，1970 年：30），但随着时间的推移，这些名字依然存在；第二，这些名字在归属上的差异，即 José 比 Jesús 更常见，而且叫 María 的女性比例超过了叫 José 的男性比例。我们可以理解为什么这些名字经久不衰，因为尽管其他宗教不断发展，但天主教在墨西哥仍占多数。为了解释第二种现象，有两个概念可以让我们对其进行阐释，这两个概念是：latría 和 dulía。本研究的语料库基于帕华特兰市（首府）民事登记处在 1874 年至 1970 年期间的出生登记簿中记录的信息，包括 3094 个名字，其中 1212 个是或包括这些名字：Jesús、María 和/或 José。我们采用的社会学视角（Seide，2016 年，2020 年）使我们能够考虑对数据的量化和比较具有意义的因素。其中包括宗教、社会、政治和法律秩序的变异。例如，40 年代和 50 年代的强制出生登记以及随后对不遵守规定者的制裁（Peral，2023 年）直接影响了统计数据。

The subject of this paper is a symbolic and etymological analysis of the characters’ names from O Evangelho Segundo Jesus Cristo by José Saramago. This study aims to verify how the names are related to their functions in the literary work and to their physical or behavioral features. Additionally, it aims to determine whether the choice of their names was intentional and corresponds to their etymological origin or if it was merely fortuitous. The study is justified due to the book's and its author's relevance to the Portuguese language, besides, it is noted that, as far as has been determined, no publication has approached this matter. The theoretical foundation is based on Onomastics studies and, more specifically, on Fictional Anthroponomastics, which focuses on the study of proper names of fictional characters. Regarding the methodological procedures, the following procedure was considered: careful reading of the work and recording all occurrences related to proper names; consulting dictionaries of first and last names; verification of the correspondence between the meaning of the name as presented on the dictionaries and the functions and characteristics within the literary work. It is concluded that the choice of names in the case of the analyzed book was not fortuitous but rather etymological and symbolically motivated.
本文的主题是对若泽-萨拉马戈（José Saramago）所著《耶稣基督的福音书》（O Evangelho Segundo Jesus Cristo）中人物名字的符号学和词源学分析。本研究旨在验证这些名字与其在文学作品中的功能及其身体或行为特征之间的关系。此外，本研究还旨在确定对这些名字的选择是否是有意为之，是否与其词源相符，抑或只是出于偶然。由于该书及其作者与葡萄牙语的相关性，这项研究是合理的，此外，我们还注意到，就目前而言，还没有任何出版物涉及这一问题。理论基础是基于人名学研究，更具体地说，是基于小说人名学研究，其重点是研究小说人物的专有名称。在方法论程序方面，考虑了以下程序：仔细阅读作品并记录所有与专名相关的内容；查阅姓氏和名字字典；核实字典上的名字含义与文学作品中的功能和特征之间的对应关系。结论是，在分析的这本书中，名字的选择并非偶然，而是出于词源学和象征学的考虑。

Para dar cuenta de la presencia de los nombres de Jesús, María y José, esto es, la Sagrada Familia en la comunidad de San Pablito en Puebla, empezaremos por hablar sobre el ingreso de estos nombres a la antroponimia en América; luego, su manifestación en el territorio mexicano para enfocarnos posteriormente a su presencia en San Pablito. Siendo por su origen tres nombres muy antiguos, y a la vez de gran importancia, dos aspectos que llaman nuestra atención son: el primero, la permanencia de estos nombres a través del tiempo a pesar de lo que pronosticaban las tendencias por 1970 sobre su posible desaparición (Boyd-Bowman 1970: 30); y el segundo, la disparidad entre sí en su atribución, esto es, José es por mucho, más frecuente que Jesús y el porcentaje de mujeres con el nombre María supera al porcentaje de hombres con el nombre José. La permanencia de los nombres podemos entenderla porque la comunidad católica continúa siendo un grupo mayoritario en México, a pesar del crecimiento constante de otros cultos. Para explicar el segundo fenómeno hay dos conceptos que nos lo permiten dilucidar y son: latría y dulía. El corpus para esta investigación se basa en la información consignada en los libros de nacimientos del Registro Civil de Pahuatlán (cabecera municipal), durante el periodo de 1874 a 1970 consistente en 3094 nombres, de los cuales 1212 son, o incluyen, los nombres: Jesús, María y/o José. La perspectiva socionomástica (Seide 2016, 2020) adoptada permitió considerar factores que aportaron sentido a la cuantificación y la comparación de los datos. Entre otros, variantes de orden religioso, social, político y legal. Ejemplo de ello, la obligatoriedad del registro de los nacimientos en los años 40-50 y la consecuente amenaza de aplicar sanciones a quienes la incumplieran (Peral 2023), evento que impactó en la estadística.

Las denominaciones asociadas a la religión han sido las menos estudiadas dentro del panorama de los estudios cubanos sobre nombres de pila. Las pocas investigaciones sobre esta temática se han enfocado más en el uso del santoral católico que en la vitalidad y permanencia de nombres vinculados a la Biblia. Este artículo tiene como objetivo describir bibliográfica, teórica y metodológicamente determinados aspectos de la presencia de los nombres bíblicos en las investigaciones sobre nombres de pila en Cuba. El presente estudio se estructura de la siguiente manera: 1) primeramente se ofrece un panorama de las principales investigaciones antroponomásticas que abordan el tema religioso en Cuba (Sánchez et al.,1985; Rosales, 2009; Rabelo, 2020; Campo, 2020, entre otras) y sus características; 2) a continuación, se plantean dos perspectivas teóricas para analizar los nombres bíblicos: una formal, entendiendo la Biblia como un inventario onomástico multilingüe; y otra motivacional, que se interesa por el concepto bíblico como motivo de selección. De la interacción entre ambos criterios surge el concepto de biblicalidad asociado a terminadas características de los nombres que evidencian con diferentes grados de exactitud su relación formal o motivacional con la Biblia; además 3) se ofrecen (o esbozan) análisis de los nombres bíblicos desde varias perspectivas (ortográfica, motivacional, estadística, bíblica) utilizando datos, tanto de corpus elaborados (principio de siglo XXI) como ofrecidos por investigaciones cubanas anteriores (entre 1980 y 2020). Como soporte a la investigación se utilizan (o se propone el uso de) diversas fuentes y recursos disponibles en Cuba actualmente tales como: documentos oficiales, guías y registros telefónicos, entrevistas a portadores, entre otros; 4) por último, se destacan aspectos del estudio en unas breves consideraciones finales. Atendiendo a la revisión bibliográfica realizada este artículo es el primero dedicado únicamente al estudio de los nombres bíblicos en Cuba desde la perspectiva antroponomástica.

O tema deste artigo é uma análise simbólica e etimológica dos nomes dos personagens da obra O Evangelho Segundo Jesus Cristo, de José Saramago. O objetivo é verificar de que maneira os nomes dos personagens relacionam-se com suas funções na obra e com suas características físicas ou comportamentais, além de verificar se a escolha dos nomes foi intencional e corresponde à sua origem etimológica ou se foi fortuita. O trabalho justifica-se dada a relevância da obra e de seu autor para a língua portuguesa, e por não ter sido encontrado, até onde foi possível saber, nenhuma publicação que versasse sobre a abordagem em questão. A fundamentação teórica consiste nos estudos da Onomástica e, mais especificamente, da Antroponímia Ficcional, cujo objetivo é o estudo dos nomes próprios de personagens de obras ficcionais. Quanto à metodologia, procedeu-se da seguinte maneira: leitura atenta da obra e registro de todas as ocorrências relacionadas aos nomes próprios; consulta a dicionários de nomes e sobrenomes; verificação da correspondência entre o significado do nome registrado nos dicionários e as funções e características dentro da obra literária. Conclui-se que a escolha dos nomes, no caso da obra analisada, não foi fortuita e sim, etimológica e simbolicamente motivada.
本文的主题是对何塞-萨拉马戈（José Saramago）的《耶稣基督的福音》（The Gospel According to Jesus Christ）中人物名字的符号学和词源学分析。目的是了解人物的名字与他们在作品中的角色、身体或行为特征之间的关系，以及名字的选择是有意为之，符合其词源起源，还是偶然为之。鉴于该作品及其作者与葡萄牙语的相关性，而且就我们所能找到的资料而言，没有任何出版物涉及到这一方法，因此这项工作是合理的。理论依据包括对专名学的研究，更具体地说，是对小说中人物专名的研究，其目的是研究小说作品中人物的专名。研究方法如下：仔细阅读作品，记录所有与名字有关的内容；查阅姓氏和名字词典；核实词典中记录的名字含义与文学作品中的功能和特点之间的对应关系。结论是，所分析作品中名字的选择并非偶然，而是出于词源学和象征学的考虑。

O trabalho justifica-se dada a relevância da obra e de seu autor para a língua portuguesa, e por não ter sido encontrado, até onde foi possível saber, nenhuma publicação que versasse sobre a abordagem em questão. A fundamentação teórica consiste nos estudos da Onomástica e, mais especificamente, da Antroponímia Ficcional, cujo objetivo é o estudo dos nomes próprios de personagens de obras ficcionais. Quanto à metodologia, procedeu-se da seguinte maneira: leitura atenta da obra e registro de todas as ocorrências relacionadas aos nomes próprios; consulta a dicionários de nomes e sobrenomes; verificação da correspondência entre o significado do nome registrado nos dicionários e as funções e características dentro da obra literária. Conclui-se que a escolha dos nomes, no caso da obra analisada, não foi fortuita e sim, etimológica e simbolicamente motivada.","PeriodicalId":497846,"journal":{"name":"Onomástica desde América Latina","volume":"163 S3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141681899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Israeli girls’ names that remained prevalent over lengthy periods were examined with the aim of determining their representation in social discourses as defined by Foucault (2002). Rare names occurring three to ten times per year from 1948 to 2015 were examined as well. Foucault defined four dichotomous axes that distinguish social discourses, with each axis characterized by social normativity at one end and original creativity at the other. The four dichotomous axes of discourse according to Foucault are ‘discursive event opposed to creation’, ‘discursive series opposed to unity’, ‘discursive regularity opposed to originality’ and, ‘condition of possibility opposed to signification’. The most prevalent girls’ names were considered as representation of the social normativity, while the rare names were considered as representations of social discourse contains original creativity. 19 prevalent names were found, 12 of which stayed on the most-popular-names list for 68 years, and seven of which appeared on the list for at least 40 years. Fifteen of these 19 names are the names of female figures from the Old Testament. Eight of the names are those of the most important women in the Bible – women who also have enjoyed the greatest degree of favor in Jewish tradition. Four other names are those of assertive women whose actions were viewed unfavorably in Jewish tradition. An analysis of these names in Foucauldian terms indicated that the most-popular-names list for girls constitutes part of three simultaneous social discourses in Israeli society across its component subgroups. These three discourses are: traditional Jewish discourse, Zionist discourse, and Israeli discourse. The latter discourse has not only featured names that appeared for many years on the popular-names list; it has also featured, in more than half the cases, names belonging to the rare-names lists – a phenomenon consistent with creativity, in Foucauldian terms.

This study interrogates the use of biblical names as charactonyms in selected plays of Wole Soyinka, the first Nobel laureate in Africa, with the aim of unearthing their morphological process and sociolinguistic imports in relation to the Holy Bible. The primary data from which extracts were made to illustrate the discussion were four drama texts: The Strong Breed (1963), The Road (1965), Death and the King’s Horseman (1975), King Baabu (2002)- all tragedies, by the same author. The theoretical frameworks adopted were Yule’s (1985) morphological taxonomy and Said’s (1978) postcolonialism. Ten names inundated with biblical elements were purposively selected across-the-board and analysed using the theoretical frameworks. Findings indicated that Soyinka inundated his works with analogy (60%) by deploying six names (Ifada, Sunma, Samson, Simon Pilkings, Olunde, Joseph) patterned after the Holy Bible to illustrate didactic lesson and messianic scapegoatism theme(s). Furthermore, the study revealed that the playwright deployed clipping (20%) through the names Maariya and Tikim, to indicate popular culture among African youth. Finally, the playwright uses biblical names in his works to blend his Christian and traditional background, and as a means of taking indirect swipe at the issue of African complex dispositions to the colonial encounter and its legacies. The work is a contribution to onomastic scholarship in relation to the Holy Bible and African-contact literary texts.

The dossier on biblical anthroponyms in secular contexts offers an in-depth exploration of how biblical names transcend their religious origins to become integral elements of various cultural and linguistic landscapes. Through an interdisciplinary approach encompassing onomastics, socio-pragmatics, and cultural studies, the reviewed articles collectively underscore the enduring relevance and adaptability of biblical names. The studies reveal that these names have been integrated into everyday language and cultural practices, reflecting broader sociopolitical and cultural shifts. In Cuba, the persistence and adaptation of names like José, Juan, Pedro, and Rafael highlight their significance in shaping cultural identities amidst historical changes. Similarly, in Algeria and Israel, the phonetic adaptations and symbolic meanings of biblical names illustrate the complex interplay between historical, cultural, and religious influences. The studies on Mexico and Ukraine further emphasize the role of these names as markers of cultural continuity and identity, transcending their original religious connotations. Despite the comprehensive insights provided, several limitations were identified across the reviewed articles. Geographically, many studies focus on specific regions, limiting the generalizability of their findings. Temporally, the narrow scope of some studies based on specific periods may not capture long-term trends. There is a notable gender imbalance with a greater focus on male names, potentially overlooking gender-specific trends. An over-reliance on specific theoretical frameworks and secondary data sources may introduce biases, limiting the consideration of other perspectives. To address these gaps, future research should expand geographic and temporal scopes, ensuring a more comprehensive understanding of naming practices. Diversifying theoretical frameworks and incorporating comparative studies with other cultural contexts will offer broader insights. Detailed phonetic and pragmatic analyses, along with the use of visual aids, will enhance accessibility and richness of findings. Lastly, discussing the broader implications of these findings for other languages and cultural contexts will enhance the relevance and impact of the research. This comprehensive approach will enrich the field of onomastics and contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamic interplay between religious heritage and secular adaptation of biblical names.
