Each ethnic group has its own anthroponymic background, formed in accordance with cultural traditions and the peculiarities of expression in the respective languages. In the 21st century, several intercultural influences are taking shape, which change the traditional anthroponymic paradigms. Given the fact that a person’s name is fixed in personal bonds, clear rules are needed for establishing the onomastic nomenclature and its use, including writing, changing, modifying names, rendering foreign names, etc. In several countries there are normative acts regarding the use of personal names, and a series of practices can be adopted in the Republic of Moldova.
