• Proper names & the instances of their bestowal are important sources of ethnographic information. Some cultural naming practices & their sociocultural implications are reviewed, eg, English, Delaware, !Kung Bushmen, Kannada, Pawnee, & Eskimo. The study of proper names can reveal universal linguistic features. T. Adams Muranaka
