Introduction Content are fundamental to human identity, serving as masks, shields, and containers of values and traditions. The origin and evolution of names are deeply intertwined with cultural, historical, and societal developments. In many cultures, names have been used to signify status, power, and belonging. For instance, in ancient societies, names often reflected the person's role or position within the community. Over time, the use of names has become more complex, influenced by factors such as religion, politics, and social norms. In modern times, names continue to play a crucial role in shaping individual and collective identities. They can bestow dignity and respect or be used to deprive individuals of these qualities. The ability to choose one's name represents a level of freedom and agency that has been denied to many oppressed peoples throughout history.
