Mononymous person
A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a mononym,〔From the Greek ''monos'' ("single") and ''onoma'' ("name"). Noun: "mononym"; adverb: "mononymously"; verb: "mononymize"; abstract noun: "mononymity". See 〕〔"Mononym... f(the ) Gr()... mono- + ... name" is defined in ''The Oxford English Dictionary'' (2nd edition, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1989, volume IX, p. 1023) as "A term consisting of one word only.... Hence mononymic... a(), consisting of a mononym or mononyms; mononymy..., a mononymic system; mononymize v(), to convert into a mononym; whence mononymization." The term is attested in the English language as early as 1872.〕 or "single name". In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country〔For example, Javanese names traditionally are mononymic.〕 or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
