Anthroponymy
Anthroponomastics (or Anthroponymy), a branch of onomastics, is the study of anthroponyms (<Gk. anthropos, 'man', + onuma, 'name'), the names of human beings.
Anthroponyms often preserve lexical elements that have dropped out of the standard lexicon of a language. For example, the English name Fishburn preserves -burn, from an older , an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "", which has dropped out of common standard English usage. Anthroponyms also easily pass from the language of origin into other, often unrelated languages.
