This article examines the sociocultural function of anthroponyms (personal names) in contemporary society. Names are not only linguistic signs but also cultural markers that reflect social values, traditions, and collective memory. By analyzing the historical roots, semantic layers, and cultural meanings of personal names, the study highlights their role in identity formation, social interaction, and cultural continuity. The paper also considers the influence of globalization, migration, and digital communication on anthroponymic practices in the modern world.Downloads
