We can distinguish several types on etymological grounds
Since time began, names have symbolised human society. Of all the creatures of the earth, mankind alone has the ability to bestow names. It is almost impossible to imagine a world in which people do not have names. Apart from life itself, a personal name is usually the first important gift that parents give to their child. The personal name is one of the very first things a child internalises and its importance, its impact upon that child’s future cannot be overstated.
