“This collection undeniably offers ground breaking insights, not only for university researchers but also for the students and general public because of its broad range of information, data, expertise and interpretation concerning multicultural onomastics. Without question, this volume deserves an important place on the shelf of everyone with a curiosity about how the tapestry of names employed by one group in time and space can be wondrously interwoven with the properties from another language, culture, religion and ethnicity.” (Leo Loveday, Voprosy onomastiki, Vol. 19 (1), 2022)“The resulting publication is admirable … . overall has excellent content and clarity of presentation. … it is a rewarding pleasure to have this book in one's hands.” (Paul Woodman, NAMES, A JOURNAL OF ONOMASTICS, Vol. 70 (1), 2022)
