Abstract
Proper names are considered from the line of three perspectives: analytical, linguistic and ethnological; perspective is divided in the view of classical ethnology (proiposition related to the inherence between the name and nemad person or object) and the view of modern ethnology in which one can observe aa interplay of the classificatory on the one hand and the indificational sdtandpoint on the other. It is to stress that in this aforementioned threedimensional perspective the proper names appear as if they were related always to another object, to an object not conceivable as a unity.
