| Abstract: Onomastics is "the science or study of the origin and forms of proper names persons or places." ["Onomastics". Merriam-Webster.com, 2013. tp://www.merriam-webster.com (11 February 2013)]. Especially personal names ay an important role in daily life, as all over the world future parents are cing the task of finding a suitable given name for their child. This choice influenced by different factors, such as the social context, language, ltural background and, in particular, personal taste. With the rise of the Social Web and its applications, users more and more teract digitally and participate in the creation of heterogeneous, stributed, collaborative data collections. These sources of data also reflect rrent and new naming trends as well as new emerging interrelations among mes. The present work shows, how basic approaches from the field of social network alysis and information retrieval can be applied for discovering relations ong names, thus extending Onomastics by data mining techniques. The nsidered approach starts with building co-occurrence graphs relative to data om the Social Web, respectively for given names and city names. As a main sult, correlations between semantically grounded similarities among names .g., geographical distance for city names) and structural graph based milarities are observed. The discovered relations among given names are the foundation of "nameling" ttp://nameling.net], a search engine and academic research platform for given mes which attracted more than 30,000 users within four months, derpinningthe relevance of the proposed methodology. |
