How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Anthroponymy is indeed the study of anthroponyms, which are personal names given to individuals or groups of people. Understanding how to express the semantic features of personal names in dictionaries is crucial for accurately capturing and conveying the diverse meanings and cultural nuances associated with names. Thus, we have conducted a comprehensive study on anthroponymy, specifically focusing on the general characteristics of proper names briefly referring to some examples in Kazakh, British English, and American English. By consulting various works dedicated to anthropology and linguistics, we have likely gathered valuable insights into the anthroponymic systems of some cultures and languages. The use of tables and figures can be helpful in presenting and analyzing data related to the characteristics of names. Furthermore, our analysis of unisex proper names in Great Britain and Kazakhstan for the year 2023 adds a contemporary and specific dimension to the given research. Overall, this article appears to offer a brief exploration of personal names, incorporating general characteristics, cultural identity, and contemporary analysis. This descriptive approach is likely to provide readers with valuable insights into the types and trends of proper names in English-speaking countries and Kazakhstan.
