anthroponym (an-THROP-uh-nim) noun
A personal name.
[Anthrop(o)- + -onym]
"Just as the toponyms in Onitsha evoke the unfamiliar, the `foreign,' so
too do the anthroponyms. Fintan's own name, for instance, is a very strange
one."
Motte, Warren, Writing away, World Literature Today, Autumn 1997.

In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on
the things you have long taken for granted. -Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)
