Interhuman relations implied the question of culture and identity through the prism of the study of the names of people (anthroponymy) and the names of places (toponymy). Each group is distinguished by a set of characteristics which form the vertices of the identity triangle: all the people of a linguistic group, all the values and institutions and finally, the fact and the way of being of a group. In the three summits of cultural identity and otherness, names occupy a prominent place in categorization and distinction. Surnames refer to a series of belonging to different groups that operate as a marker of singular and collective identity. Names are the starting point in social relations.
