Abstract

This article examines the structural features of personal names in the English language from a linguistic perspective. The study analyzes the internal composition of English personal names, including given names, middle names, surnames, and their morphological and syntactic characteristics. Special attention is paid to the origins of personal names, patterns of name formation, and the influence of historical, cultural, and social factors on their structure. The article also explores different classification models of English personal names and identifies common structural types used in contemporary English. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of anthroponymy and highlight the role of personal names as an important element of linguistic and cultural identity.
