Abstract
This article examines the main types of referentiality and their significance in the study of anthroponyms. Referentiality is considered one of the important linguistic categories that establishes the relationship between language units and real or imagined entities. The study focuses on the functional and semantic characteristics of referential expressions used in anthroponomic research. The findings demonstrate that referentiality helps reveal the cultural, social, and communicative functions of anthroponyms in linguistic communication.
