Resumo: TThis research aims at analysing and comparing the motives for choosing the first name of a child in Lithuania and Brazil in the years 1958-2016. By combining qualitative and quantitative methods and applying social and cultural approaches, it reveals that different countries and cultures have both similar and divergent trends in name-giving practices. The most remarkable similarity in both countries and cultures is both the predominance of an aesthetic motiveand the desire to honour a relative, a friend, or a famous person. These trends are presumably related to universal aspects of naming practices. The aesthetic motiveis related to processes of cultural globalization, while the honour-oriented motivepoints to the significance of traditional naming patterns. The greatest difference between Lithuanian and Brazilian data is in the frequency of name choices due to patriotism, religion, name uniqueness or naming a child after a fictional character. Such divergent results are explained by different social values in each society and different cultural and historical experiences. In addition, the research proves that the first names do have meaning; however, it is not purely conceptual or lexical, as they rather bear individual connotations.

Ao empregar uma combinação de métodos qualitativos e quantitativos, bem como a aplicação de abordagens sociais e culturais, o estudo apresentado neste artigo revela que países e culturas diferentes têm tendências semelhantes e divergentes nas práticas de atribuição de nomes. A notável semelhança em ambos os países e culturas é a predominância do motivo estético e a escolha do nome de uma criança com o desejo de homenagear um parente, um amigo ou uma pessoa famosa. Essas tendências estão provavelmente relacionadas a aspectos universais das práticas de nomeação. Enquanto a primeira motivação está relacionada a processos de globalização cultural, a segunda evidencia a importância dos padrões tradicionais de nomeação. A maior diferença nos dados lituanos e brasileiros está na frequência de escolhas de nomes devido ao patriotismo, à religião, à univocidade do nome e à nomeação inspirada por personagem ficcional. Estes resultados divergentes são explicados por diferentes valores sociais em cada sociedade e diferentes experiências culturais e históricas. Além disso, a pesquisa mostra que os prenomes têm significado; no entanto, ele não é puramente conceitual ou lexical, mas sim um significado de conotação individual.PP/UFU2021-02-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/5478210.14393/DL46-v15n2a2021-6Domínios de Lingu@gem; Vol. 15 No. 2 (2021): The quest for interdisciplinarity in the Brazilian Onomastics; 405-445Domínios de Lingu@gem; Vol. 15 Núm. 2 (2021): A busca pela interdisciplinaridade na Onomástica brasileira; 405-445Domínios de Lingu@gem; v. 15 n. 2 (2021): A busca pela interdisciplinaridade na Onomástica brasileira; 405-4451980-5799reponame:Domínios de Lingu@geminstname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUengporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/54782/30945https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/54782/30965https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/54782/34643Copyright (c) 2021 Karolina Butkuvienė, Lolita Petrulionė, Marcia Sipavicius Seide, Edita Valiulienėhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessButkuvienė, KarolinaPetrulionė, LolitaSeide, Marcia SipaviciusValiulienė, Edita2022-09-16T18:44:59Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/54782Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagemPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/oairevistadominios@ileel.ufu.br||1980-57991980-5799opendoar:2022-09-16T18:44:59Domínios de Lingu@gem - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
