''Idem sonans'' is a legal doctrine whereby a person's identity is presumed known despite the misspelling of his or her name. The presumption lies in the similarity between the Phonology, or sounds of the correct name and the name as written. Such similar-sounding words are called a homonym, while similar-sounding phrases or names would be a holorime. In Latin it means "Sounding the same." 〔(Find Law Definition )〕 Some examples are Seagrave/Segrave, Hutson/Hudson, Coonrad/Conrad, Keen/Keene, and Diadema/Deadema.〔 ==United Kingdom== Under UK jurisdiction, there has been an incredibly small amount of judicial activity here. The old judgment of ''R v Davis''〔(1851) 15 JP 450〕 provides: :"If two names spelt differently necessarily sound alike, the court may, as matter of law, pronounce them to be idem sonantia; but if they do not necessarily sound alike, the question whether they are idem sonantia is a question of fact for the jury". The modern case of ''Re Vidiofusion Ltd''〔() 1 All ER 76〕 establishes a four-stage test when a name of a company is spelled differently in writing: * No Company of a similar name * ''Idem Sonantia'' - similar pronunciation * No marked vision difference (judge gave example of Jackson/Jaxon being too dissimilar visually) * Misspelling does not substantially change the placement of the name if placed in an alphabetical list. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Idem sonans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
