This article analyzes A. Fowler’s “Literary Names”, C. Clark’s research on medieval English surnames and place names, and E. Ekwall’s studies on English toponymy. Within the scope of literary and historical onomastics, the importance of personal and geographical names in social, cultural, and historical contexts is explored. The authors examine the origins, etymology, and semantic aspects of character names, surnames, and place names in detail.
