Names in Focus delves deep into the vast field of Finnish onomastics,
covering place names, personal names, animal names, commercial names and
names in literature. It provides the history and current trends in this
area of research, and also supplements international terminology with
the Finnish point of view on the subject. Brimming with examples and
clear explanations, the book can be enjoyed by the most studious of
researchers as well as the casual reader who has a genuine interest in
the study of names.
