This article examines the historical development of English personal names within the framework of anthropocentric, socio-cultural, and linguistic factors. It demonstrates that English anthroponymy is a multilayered system shaped by successive historical strata, including Celtic and Roman heritage, Anglo-Saxon Germanic naming patterns, Scandinavian influence, Norman-French domination, Christianization, the Reformation, and the later impact of Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Victorian cultural transformations. Special attention is paid to the formation of biblical, saintly, and virtue names, the emergence of hereditary surnames, and the increasing standardization of naming practices from the early modern period onward. The study also highlights the role of industrialization, urbanization, literacy, and civil registration in the regulation and stabilization of personal names in the nineteenth century. In addition, contemporary English anthroponymy is analyzed as a dynamic system influenced by globalization, multiculturalism, migration, and popular culture, including media, cinema, and music. The findings show that personal names in English function not only as linguistic identifiers but also as markers of religious affiliation, social hierarchy, cultural identity, and individual self-expression. The article concludes that English anthroponymy represents a dynamic linguocultural phenomenon reflecting the interaction between historical memory, social change, and anthropocentric values.
