ICONN – an example of multiculturalism in onomastics

Abstract

The International Conference on Onomastics “Name and Naming” (ICONN) has reached its fifth edition. Since the year 2011, it has been illustrating multicultural connections in all the fields of onomastics. This study analyses the way in which, due to the diversity of participants and the multitude of the topics approached, ICONN covers all the areas of onomastics, with multiculturalism becoming a constant feature of this prestigious scientific event. The examination of the conference from the perspective of multiculturalism is also achieved with methods specific to scientometrics, based on statistical data significant in the context of this research.
