Abstract: Between the 11th and the12th centuries, the Anthroponomic Revolution took place. This is defined as a process that developed on a European scale and completely transformed the way of designating people. The previous system based on a single name and a broad onomastic stock was replaced by a smaller set of names to which a second element was added, the precursor of surnames. This paper develops a state of the matter on the characteristics and causes of the Anthroponomic Revolution and analyses the possibilities offered by anthroponymy to study medieval migrations.
