Summary/Abstract: The article brings into focus, defines and makes a hierarchy of the Anthroponymic units, using as grounds for this a large number of speciality works from the Romanian and foreign Linguistics. The author points out several different views on approaching some Anthroponymy terms, such as: Onomastics, Anthroponymy, first name, family name, nickname and so on. He insists that the Romanian authors should adopt a unitary terminology in the Onomastics field, having the European Linguistics as a model.
