Wang, Z., & Micklin, M. (1996). The transformation of naming practices in Chinese families: some linguistic clues to social change. International Sociology, 11(2), 187-212.
Abstract: Chinese family organization has undergone significant change, first as a result of the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and more recently as a consequence of the one-child policy initiated in 1979 and the declining influence of patriarchy. These changes have created dilemmas regarding appropriate forms for central family values and practices. The problems inherent in this situation are illustrated through the choice of family and given names for newborns. Traditionally, family names have been the principal symbolic means of reflecting the continuity of kinship and the immortality of the ancestral family. Chinese given names also serve social functions as generation markers, as a projection of personal identity, a gender indicator and indirect reflection of social change. Evidence suggests considerable ambiguity and debate among contemporary Chinese regarding the cultural guidelines for selection of family and given names for newborns. These microsocial conflicts are consistent with observed structural discontinuities in family organization, illustrating the reciprocal relationship between institutional conditions and behavior.

Notes: JSTOR Online: link to article
Abstract: "Personal naming provides an insight into the construction of gender and person in Chinese society. The process of naming marks important social transitions for Chinese men; the more names a man has the more socialized and also, in a sense, the more individuated he becomes. By contrast, married women in rural China are essentially nameless. If personhood is a process of social growth, judged against the standard of men, the evidence presented here suggests that Chinese women do not, indeed cannot, attain full personhood.

Arichi, M. (1999). Is it radical? : Women’s right to keep their own surnames after marriage. Womens Studies International Forum, 22(4), 411-415.
Abstract: "In Japan, as elsewhere, socio-economic changes have impacted upon women’s employment patterns. This article demonstrates that despite these changes and the existence of Equal Opportunities legislation, women’s traditional position within the family prevails and is reflected in wider society. By exploring the surname issue, the effects of tensions between change and tradition at a local level are revealed. Globally, women in many countries have already won the right to keep their own surname upon marriage, but the surname issue is still significant for Japanese women. The issues discussed here demonstrate that rights which are often taken for granted elsewhere are still being fought in certain contexts, and different women in different localities may therefore bring different priorities to the global arena. There are, however, commonalities between localities, and this article illustrates some common threads in the interconnected ways that social and cultural changes are often resisted, and patriarchal traditions perpetuated."

Notes: [A study on the characteristics of heads of households in Kyonggi Province in the late Yi dynasty: with special emphasis on the distribution of surnames and ancestral homes]
Abstract: Publisher’s abstract "Examines heads of households in urban and rural localities within the cities of Kaesong, Inch’on, and Kwangju, and the counties of Yongin and Yangju in Kyonggi Province in the years 1898-1900. The study covers a total of 1,689 households numbering 6,922 persons and 10,653 buildings, of which 559 were thatched and 10,094 were tiled dwellings. The distribution of family names and ancestral homes is the primary focus, and there were five major family groups: the Kimhae Kim, Chonju Yi, Milyang Pak, Chongju Han, and Kyongju Kim clans. The distribution of these family names was found to be similar to their prevalence in the capital Seoul. Nevertheless, close examination shows that the distribution in Kyonggi was not even but varied greatly according to locality, particularly between urban and rural regions."

Abstract: Author: "The family name distribution in Korea is investigated in comparison with previous studies in other countries. In Korea, both the family name and its birthplace, where the ancestor of the family originated, are commonly used to distinguish one family name from the others. The family name distributions with and without the information of the regional origins are analyzed by using different data sets of various sizes, and compared with previous studies performed in other countries. The growth rate of the family is empirically obtained. Contrary to commonly used assumptions, the growth rate is found to be higher for the smaller family."

Gardiner, H. (1970). Second-generation Chinese in Thailand: a study of ethnic identification. Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 1(4), 333-344.
Abstract: This study investigated the ethnic identification of second-generation Chinese in Thailand. One hundred and seventy-six adolescents 14-18 years of age (92 male, 84 female) were separated into (1) those who used Chinese family names and those who used Thai family names and (2) those who had attended Chinese schools and those who had not attended such schools. The following measures were employed: Behavioral Differential Scale, Assimilation-Orientation Inventory, California Fascism Scale, Conformity Scale, and the Gough-Sanford Rigidity Scale. It was hypothesized that (1) second-generation Chinese who used Chinese family names would have a higher degree of identification with Chinese than those who used Thai family names; (2) those who had attended Chinese schools would identify more closely with Chinese than those who had not attended such schools; and (3) scores on the F-scale, C-scale, and R-scale would be positively correlated with the degree of Chinese identification. Analysis of results indicates support for the first two hypotheses but not for the third. Possible areas of future research are suggested.

Miran, M. A. (1975). Naming and address in Afghan society.
Abstract: Forms of address in Afghan society reflect the relationships between the speakers as well as the society’s structure. In Afghan Persian, or Dari, first, second, and last names have different semantic dimensions. Boys’ first names usually consist of two parts or morphemes, of which one may be part of the father’s name. Girls’ names usually consist of only one part, but sometimes two. Where the actual first name is considered to consist of a subordinate, or common, name plus a proper given name, the proper name is used. In cases where both parts are considered important, both must be used. Ox-names or nicknames may also be used in place of the given name. In some cases an honorific or a patronymic name may be used. A teknonymous name (a kinship name plus the relative’s first name) is used when the addressee is older than the addressor. Married parents address each other with the eldest child’s name; childless couple uses /o:/ ("hey!") or a kinship pattern. Younger family members use a kinship term rather than a name to address older members. Diminutives are used between peers and by older members in speaking to younger ones. Generally, the use of titles must include the first name and may or may not include the last name; and the majority of people in Afghanistan do not have a last name. Like the use of names, kinship terms, and titles, Dari pronouns of address reflect varying degrees of respect, power, education, and age. (AM)

Bhatnagar, S., & Agrawal, S. (2002). Surname Endogamy among the Brahmin of India. Current Sociology, 50(11), 853-861.
Abstract: Endogamy has been a strong influence on Hindu society over the centuries and most of the 75,000 subcastes or subgroups of India’s complex social stratification system practise endogamy, while the further divisions within these subcastes, called gotras, are required to marry exogamously. The present study focuses on three socioculturally isolated, highly endogamous groups, to study the effect of endogamy on genetic microdifferentiation. The groups are all subdivisions or classes of the Brahmin or priest caste, namely Bhargavas and Chaturvedis and Kanyakubja and Sanadhaya Brahmin, and all groups practise patrilineal surname endogamy. Two-generation pedigrees were drawn up and microdifferentiation was estimated using parameters like mean concordance, i.e. within-gotra marriages in Bhargavas and Chaturvedis, FIT (the inbreeding coefficient or inbreeding-like effect due to endogamy), FST (within-group a priori kinship) and RST (reduced variance of the mean value of within-group a priori kinship). Our results indicate that there is an increase in same-gotra marriage showing that these groups are in fact not following the strict rule of exogamy. This is highest among Chaturvedis (17.1 percent) as compared to Bhargavas (11.2 percent), Kanykubja Brahmins (13.4 percent) and Sanadhaya Brahmin (16.92 percent). The FST is almost the same in all the populations over two generations; however, it is slightly lower among Bhargavas and highest in Brahmin indicating that although these populations follow endogamy at surname level they are exogamous at gotra/kuldevi level. The same is indicated by FIS, which shows that in spite of strict endogamy there is no inbreeding-like effect in these populations. RST measures variance among populations and our results reveal that these populations are distinct from one another.

Abstract: author abstract: "Three styles of personal names are attested for the Meithei (Tibeto-Burman, Manipur State in northeast India): a native-Meithei style, a Hindu style introduced with the eighteenth-century adoption of Hinduism by the Meithei, and a "resistance" style typified by previously unattested structures and clan names. This article shows that those who espouse a clean break with Indian political and religious hegemony use resistance-style names, whereas those who favor strengthened ties between Manipur and India, while still cherishing pre-Hindu identity, move fluidly between use of Hindu and resistance-style names."

Abstract: "Hebrew proper names today include personal names, surnames and nicknames. Comparisons between students and staff members’ personal names at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and Tel Aviv University show differences in types of names (traditional/modern), in variability (less tokens in the Technion than in Tel-Aviv and years. Traditional names do not seem to be dwindling, but the number of modern names is increasing (although often there are less modern tokens-per-patterns than traditional tokens-per-patterns). Certain Biblical names are more popular (evidenced in the larger number of tokens) than modern names, and there are certain "revived" Biblical names. Biblical names are also preferred to names of Aramaic origin, probably because of the language background. Modern personal names include novel nouns, adjectives (human characteristics) and verbs (mainly in the active future 3rd person masculine singular form)." Abstract source : ed lawson

Abstract: Lawson1: "The term Bene Israel refers to Indian Jews who settled originally on the Konkan coast and more recently were concentrated in the Bombay area. Now, the majority live in Israel. Indian Jews have first (personal) names, second names (patronyms or andronyms (husbands patronyms), and -kar (village surnames). Although there has been much name -changing in Israel, Bene Israel maintain their village surnames in religious rituals as ,for example, Michael ben Josef Thralkar."

Abstract: "The present paper studies personal names used by Christians in Jordan with a view to discovering their socioeultural implications. As an initial step, it proceeds to a sociolinguistic classification and dist inguishes several categories of names, such as Arabic and Arabicized versus foreign and non-Arabicized names; names used in their Arabic and foreign forms; and names used 6y Christians only versus names used by both Christians and Muslims. Then the paper attempts to uncover the social, temporal, environmental, and religious implications of names. It comes to the conclusion that names used by Christians in Jordan convey a variety of meanings and associations. These range from desirable social values and concepts like honor, chastity, and courage, to names of precious stones and beautiful plants and flowers, to names of strong or beautiful animals and birds, and to names denoting religious feelings and sympathies. In general, it appears that Jordanian Christians, by using both Arabic names shared with Muslims and names used only by themselves, try to strike a balance between their loyalty to their Arab country of Jordan and their attachment to their faith and churches."

Abstract: "Discussion of 12 social and cultural factors on naming in general and with special emphasis on examples from Saudi society. Among these factors are: (1) Interaction among cultures as shown by the names pattern in the Hijaz area with those in the inner parts of the peninsula, and those near the Syrian border with Syrian names, (2) Environmental factors showing the power and fierceness of Bedouins contrasted with docile names of city dwellers, (3) Religious beliefs as shown by contrast of Muslim and Christian names, (4) Cultural origin as shown by those with Indian origin v. those of Persian origin, (5) Social status where the more affluent tend to use titles and family designations compared with the less affluent who tend to use simple son-father-grandfather patterns of naming, and (6) Cultural changes over time."

One example is chronology, such as the time when the Semitic population settled in the area, as well as the relative and absolute chronology of the different states of South Arabia. Another problem is the lack of epigraphic documention. Then there is a list of important points in the name system of South Arabia. This includes the phonetic phenomena in the linguistic system, formal structure of anthroponymy, the deonminational system. and composed names." source-ed lawson
