This text sets out with the presupposition that people’s first names signal a symbolic consumption in present and past societies. In the same way, naming children ensues from a widespread social practice according to which a name represents a sign of both recognition and “belonging” (Gelis). In the case of a community composed of immigrants and their descendants, the symbolic character afore mentioned is also characteristic of differentiating cultural features in the scope of construction (and deconstruction) of an ethnic identity. In other words, in an ethnic group, choosing a name would express a specific signal or sign of cultural contacts, constituting diacritical features which people look for and exhibit to show their identity (Barth).
