The author continues the conversation about proper names that began many years ago, shows the historical depth of personal names, their connection with surnames, geographical names, ancient myths and the newest types of names. Many names “travel” across our planet, covering significant distances in space and time. Moving from one language to another, names change, rearrange, sound differently, but refer to the same named person or object. This is discussed in the chapters of the book and the appendix, which includes over a thousand names known to us.

Recommended for a wide range of readers.
