Changing Names investigates, in relation to the ancient Greek world, the ways in which preferences in personal name-giving change: through shifts in population, cultural contact and imperialism, the popularity of new gods, celebrity status of individuals, increased openness to external influence, and shifts in local fashion. Several major kinds of change due to cultural contact occurred: Greek names spread in regions outside Greece that were subject to Greek cultural influence (and later conquest), while conversely the Roman conquest of the Greek world led to various degrees of adoption of the Roman naming system; late in antiquity, Christianisation led to a profound but rather gradual transformation of the name stock. Individuals in culturally mixed societies sometimes bore two names, one for public or official use, one more domestic; but women of non-Greek origin were more likely to stick with indigenous names. 'Structural' changes (such as the emergence of the English surname) did not occur, though in late antiquity an indication of profession tended to replace the father's name as a secondary identifier; in some regions 'second' names became popular, perhaps in imitation of the longer Roman naming formulae. The volume is arranged partly thematically, partly through regional case studies (from within and beyond old Greece). Individuals who change their names (typically slaves after manumission) are also considered, as is the possibility that a name might change its 'meaning'.

Cet ouvrage prosopographique contient 695 entrées correspondant à autant d'Eléens ayant vécu depuis l'époque archaïque jusqu'au Ier siècle av. J.-C. Avec l'oeuvre du même auteur précédemment publiée (S. Zoumbaki, Elis und Olympia in der Kaiserzeit. Das Leben einer Gesellschaft zwischen Stadt und Heiligtum auf prosopographischer Grundlage, il constitue une prosopographie complète de l'antique Elide. Dans une introduction substantielle sont exposés les principes et les problèmes de la compilation d'un ouvrage de ce genre. L'auteur examine le problème de l'étendue géographique à inclure dans une prosopographie de l'Elide, vues les modifications frontalières répétées pendant les périodes classique et hellénistique. Madame Zoumbaki se penche aussi sur les confusions entre l'ethnique de la cité et de la région et celui d'autres régions du monde grec. Les sources littéraires, épigraphiques, numismatiques, papyrologiques etc. sont systématiquement passées en revue. L'organisation des entrées dans le catalogue prosopographique est aussi expliquée en détail. Chaque entrée présente le même format. Il contient la bibliographie des sources employés, la bibliographie secondaire des sujets discutés, le texte de la source lui-même ou, s'il est trop long pour être inclus in extenso, un extrait, des observations sur la personne en question, sur ses activités, les magistratures ou autres fonctions assumées par lui. Cette construction des entrées vise à placer les personnes examinées dans leur contexte historique, afin d'orienter le lecteur vers l'histoire locale ou générale à laquelle appartient la personne en question. Les nombreuses références croisées à l'intérieur du catalogue, les références aux stemmata à la fin du livre, des index exhaustifs et une carte de l'Elide font de cet ouvrage un instrument d'une grande utilité pour l'historien de l'Antiquité.
