    A SOCIO CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF ARABIC PERSONAL NAMES
    (Department of English, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2013-08-08) Ayuba, Adam Binchi; Akase, Tiav Thomas
    This study is an investigation into the Arabic anthroponomyms which reflects the naming practices of Arab people of Saudi Arabia. The study aims at investigating personal names of Arabs as they look very striking to someone who does not know much about their culture. The names are classified into different categories oh the basis of their sources. The changing pattern or practice of naming of the people will also be examined here. The study is therefore, an attempt towards understanding anthroponomy as a branch of Onomastics in relation to sociolinguistics.
