Onomastics or onomatology is the study of the origin, history, and use of proper names.Onomastics originates from the Greek ὀνομαστικός (onomastikós), which translates to "of or belonging to naming," from ὄνομα (ónoma) meaning "name."Toponymy or toponomastics, the study of place names, is one of the principal branches of onomastics. Anthroponomastics is the study of personal names. Onomastics can be helpful in data mining, with applications such as named-entity recognition, or recognition of the origin of names. An orthonym is the proper name of the object in question, the object of onomastic study.
Gender studies
Onomastics have been used extensively in gender studies, to infer the gender of personal names in quantitative research. In most countries and cultures, the method is very accurate, with a precision in the range of 95–99%.
This is an introduction to the subfield of linguistics called Onomastics.

Name studies, or Onomastics, studies designations and labels of people (Anthroponymy) and places (Toponymy). Toponymy is particularly useful when studying societies with no written sources, since we then have a linguistic source which can complement other sources in the analyses, such as Archaeology.
