Anthroponymy
The anthroponymy (study of the names of people) is a science which constitutes, with toponymy (study of the place names), one of the two parts of the Onomastique, connects Lexicologie (study of the origin and evolution of the proper names).
Albert Dauzat (Guéret (Digs) 1877 - Paris 1945) which published a Traité French anthroponymy - family names of France , reviewing, with all the desirable scientific rigor, some 120.000 patronyms (that is to say approximately one the third of the national body), republished by Guénégaud in 1977, can be regarded as the father of the contemporary French anthroponymy. Its work was resumed and improved by Marie-Therese Morlet.
The study of the anthroponymy is relayed by recent regional approaches: Jean-Marie Thiébaud, Dictionary of family names of Franche-Comté (2 vol.). Divide into volumes 1st, the names of geographic origin, 1988 - volume II, the names of trades, the nicknames, 1998.
