American Name Society

The American Name Society, founded in 1951, is a learned society founded "to promote onomastics, the study of names and naming practices, both in the United States and abroad [and] to investigate cultural insights, settlement history, and linguistic characteristics revealed in names."[1] Its publications include The Ehrensperger Report and Names: A Journal of Onomastics. Notable members include founding member George R. Stewart as well as A. Ross Eckler, Jr., Fritz L. Kramer, and Hubert Blaine Wolfe­schlegel­stein­hausen­berger­dorff, Sr.[2][3]
