| Summary: | Taking into account the scarcity of research on the practices of personal naming
in Jordan, this study examined personal names in rural and urban regions in Irbid,
Jordan, in terms of social practices, factors affecting the social practices, and
morphological patterns. The research approach of this study is mixed-methods in
which the design is explanatory sequential design with two phases: quantitative and
qualitative. The sample of this study is 384 parents who were randomly selected from
urban and rural regions in Irbid. In the quantitative phase, data were collected using an
adapted questionnaire which consists of three parts: Part A (demographic variables
with 5 items), Part B (the social practices of personal naming with 16 items), and Part
C (factors affecting the social practices of personal naming). In the qualitative phase,
qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews which were
constructed and designed based on the results of the questionnaire to provide
elaboration and explanation for the results obtained from the quantitative phase. |
