contents <h3>This article examines nicknames as a distinct category within French anthroponymy from semantic, linguistic, and sociological perspectives. Drawing on the typological classification developed by Billy Pierre-Henri, the study analyses a range of nicknames attested in historical French-speaking communities and systematises them according to their onomastic etymons — geographical affiliation, occupational context, ethnic and national identity, family name derivation, personal given names, physical characteristics, and animal imagery. The research demonstrates that nicknames function as complex anthroponymic units that encode an individual's spatial, social, historical, and cultural positioning within a community. The findings contribute to the broader field of onomastics and offer a structured framework for the study of non-official naming practices in the French linguistic tradition.</h3>
