	Onomastics introduction
		At the intersection of various disciplines (historical, linguistic, literary), onomastics, whose autonomous scientific character is increasingly acknowledged by the international scientific community at large, is undergoing a period of new activity.
		The contribution of studies in medieval onomastics, indispensable to the proliferation of detailed studies, is currently witnessing two ambitious research exercises on a vast scale.
		The now established use of onomastics made by language historians, who are well aware of the value of the phono-morphological and lexical data provided by proper names and anthroponyms in Middle Age Latin documents for periods so bereft of written vernacular evidence, is likewise available.

		The first issue one faces in a study of onomastics is to determine the proper approach.
		The body of literature on onomastics is aweinspiring, with a long tradition of research from various disciplines: among others, anthropology, (e.g., EvansPritchard 1948), etymology (e.
		There are verythat the synchronic study of proper names may be an interesting and rewarding subject for the linguist as well as for the ethnographer and that at least in some linguistic communities personal names may form a well-defined subsystem within the whole of the linguistic structure" (321-322).

		By launching the series, the founders were aiming at creating a forum of publication for the onomastic researchers of the Uralian languages, hoping that it can give an impulse to this research area and it can also serve as a basis for the widening of scientific co-operation and for the realization of common research programs.
		Since the onomastic material of each language is in close relationship with the proper names of the languages having a territorial contact with it, not even scientific research may be limited in this regard.
		However, from onomastic works regarding primarily other languages, only those were included in the bibliography which are indispensable in the onomastic research of one of the Uralian languages.

	Basque Onomastics of the Eighth to Sixteenth Centuries: Abstract
		Gorrochategui agrees, writing that the use of this group of suffixes "is not exclusive to the Basque region, but is general to Spanish Romance [languages] and the origin of the majority of present-day Spanish surnames" (749).
		Depending on the period and location (and in some cases, varying from one part of a document to another), different combinations of names are seen.
		It is hoped that those who are interested in creating a Basque persona will find this paper useful for finding a desirable and appropriate combination of names to use in the SCA.

		Onomastics is the study of names--place names, people’s names, how mountains or prairies or states came to be named, who named them, and why.
		In addition, Jose Mallea spoke briefly to the group on his current research of Basque tree carvings in the American West, explaining their historical significance and igniting sparks of interest among the attendant scholars who were for the most part unaware of this Basque-American phenomenon.
