e-Onomastics Reaches 5 Million Visits

 Dear readers, colleagues, and friends of names,

I am delighted to share a special milestone: e-Onomastics has reached 5 million visits.

What began as a space for sharing news, calls for papers, publications, conferences, and reflections on the study of names has grown into a truly international meeting point for everyone interested in onomastics, toponymy, anthroponymy, naming practices, and the cultural life of names.

This milestone belongs not only to the blog, but also to its readers. Thank you for visiting, reading, sharing, commenting, sending news, and keeping the global onomastic conversation alive. Your interest shows that names matter - in scholarship, in society, in history, in identity, and in everyday life.

Over 13.5 years, e-Onomastics has tried to serve as a bridge between researchers, institutions, students, and the wider public with its 4.753 blog posts. Reaching 5 million visits is a wonderful encouragement to continue this work with even more energy and curiosity.

With sincere gratitude to all readers around the world:

Thank you for being part of the e-Onomastics community.
The journey of names continues.

When e-onomastics began in 2012, few digital platforms systematically covered the diverse world of name research. Today, this blog stands as one of the longest-running and most influential onomastic blogs worldwide, serving readers from every continent.

As we celebrate 4 million, the future looks bright. The field continues evolving rapidly with AI, indigenous sovereignty movements, and interdisciplinary collaboration. e-onomastics is perfectly positioned to document, promote, and participate in these developments.

Celebrating 3 Million Visits for e-onomastics

 In the vast and often ephemeral landscape of the internet, where blogs are born and vanish in the blink of an eye, a quiet but profound achievement has taken place. The blog e-onomastics.blogspot.com, a dedicated hub for the study of names, has recently surpassed 3 million visits.

This isn't just a statistic; it's a testament to over a decade of unwavering commitment to scholarship, curiosity, and the power of a niche passion. Since its inception in 2012, this blog has become a cornerstone for academics, students, and name enthusiasts worldwide, solidifying its place as one of the longest-running and most respected interdisciplinary blogs dedicated to onomastics.

What is e-onomastics?

For the uninitiated, onomastics is the study of the history, origin, and use of proper names. It’s a field that sits at a fascinating crossroads, blending linguistics, history, sociology, anthropology, and geography. A name is never just a name; it's a cultural artifact, a historical record, and a piece of human identity.

e-onomastics, meticulously edited by your obedient servant Dr. Eugen Schochenmaier, an independent onomatologist, has masterfully explored this intersection. The blog serves as a dynamic journal, a news portal, and a virtual conference hall for this specialized field.

Many onomastic thanks to all of you!!!

e-Onomastics is 10 years old ! ! !

 e-Onomastics, this very blog, is TEN years old this month! 

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I started blogging! 

It was tough to juggle full time work at college but I did it. 

Over that time, the vision for this blog has slightly changed but I am still doing more or less the same.

I am still in a bit of shock about that fact, never would I have ever dreamed that my blog could last this long. 

It’s been ten amazing years spent in the company of all of you, wonderful and good-hearted onomasticians, who really keep me going. 

With almost 1,26 million visits and 3.777 posts, we are one of the oldest and the most visited blog dedicated to onomastics: 

I can’t imagine my life without interacting with you guys whose generosity and research has been essential to me. Thanks to all of you delightful name-fans for bringing out a more confident side of me, with your collective kindness and endless array of support in sharing onomastic news. 

I’m so happy to have reached this milestone in my blogging "career" and hope to continue for as long as I can)))
