Abstract

Personal names (anthroponyms) are human resources for identifying and categorizing individuals. They constitute one of the universal parts of language which have drawn the attention of anthropologists and linguists alike. Our contribution to studies on Igbo personal names here is from a linguistic/anthropological perspective. This paper undertakes in‐depth linguistic and anthropological studies of Igbo market‐day names.
