Abstract
AbstractA corpus of 413 Palestinian surnames was collected from several cities, towns, villages and refugee camps on the West Bank and classified into twelve categories: 1. Animals, Birds and Insects, 2. Occupations, 3. Instruments, 4. Personal Characteristics, 5. Plants, 6. Food, 7. Natural Phenomena, 8. Historical, 9. Places, 10. Religious, 11. Foreign (Non-Arabic), and 12. Unknown. This study, the first of its kind to be conducted on the West Bank, sheds light on some important aspects of Palestinian onomastics and cultural heritage as manifested in Palestinian occupations both extant and extinct, personal characteristics, places, religion, food, flora and fauna of Palestine.
