The study of morphological and syntactic construction of personal names is one of the areas of linguistic studies which is known as linguistic onomastics. The present study, focusing on personal names in Lāmerdi dialect (a Persian dialect in the south of Fars province, Iran), is one of the first attempts to study personal names in Iranian dialects. In this research, Lāmerdi personal names are divided into ‘simple’, ‘complicated’ and ‘group’ names, and analyzed from a morphological and syntactic point of view. Findings reveal that clipping is the widely-used word-formation process in simple and complicated personal names. This process is categorized into back-clipping, middle-clipping, irregular, and fore-clipping. Influenced by situational context, several suffixes are used to express the meaning of blame (-ol), humiliation (-ak), and endearment (-ā, -aku -i). Among of them –ol and -aku are marked for gender and social status. The study of “group names” and their four syntactic structures is the final part of this article. “Group names” in Lāmerdi dialect represent an ancient tradition in Iranian naming, which, due to the prevalence of the Arabic tradition of naming individuals in official and court texts, did not occur much but remained unofficially in Iranian dialects.

This paper deals with the impact of sociocultural changes on the corpus of personal names in Baneh from a socio-onomstic perspective. Corpus of personal names means the body of names selected by parents in the target society to name their children. The research method is descriptive-analytic and the universe includes the sum of selected names in the target society from 1921 to 2017. Therefore, using descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage), inferential statistics, and SPSS software, we first analyze the changes in naming practices in Baneh based on defined periods, and then we try to provide a comprehensive analysis of the whole era, i.e. the last hundred years. The description and analysis in this research is based on the classification of the names as "religious", "national", "ethnic", and "non-religious names derived from non-Iranian languages". The results of the research indicate that the percentage of religious names has been decreasing in the recent century; on the contrary, the percentage of national and ethnic names has shown a rising trend. However, the percentage of ethnic male names has dropped slowly in recent few years. Conceptual Arabic names have also had a dramatic decline, and in the past few years, especially since the early 1390s, non-Iranian (considering the language family, i.e. Turkish, Hebrew and European languages) names have been used. These changes indicate that in the target society, tendency towards detraditionalization and, as a result, individualism has increased, moreover, the change in people’s taste in names and naming reflects changes in socio-cultural structures.
