of many linguists to formulate and test hypotheses regarding the culture and
language of the people of a certain area. Iran appears like a proper destination for
conducting a research focusing on naming based on several factors such as
geography or chronology. The present article aims to take a specific look at the
impact of political era (sociopolitical factors) in addition to dialect over naming
practices. Chronological data is gathered from 5 politically significant consecutive
periods. Separately, 5 districts are chosen speaking 4 different native dialects to
examine the second hypothesis regarding the influence of dialect on naming. 50
most popular names were collected on the two aforementioned different bases and
analysis was conducted by SPSS software. The results revealed that time with
concentration on political spans did not form an influential factor except for minor
fluctuations. The other hypothesis regarding the factor of dialect is rejected for
male names while females do confirm a limited consistency of dialect and name
choice in most of the areas.
