The article contains a theoretical reflection on the genesis of onomastics as a scientific discipline, its development, and its current state. The author analyzes and comments on the most important intellectual paradigms, methodologies, and classification criteria in force at the beginnings of study on personal names (the first half of the 19th century) as well their variability, which arises from changeable research positions. It also points out the most important thematic fields that have been worked out by onomasts or that need to be worked out.
