Abstract

The intersection of language and culture is profoundly evident in religious onomastic words—names associated with religious concepts, figures, places, and rituals. In English, these onomastic words carry linguistic and cultural significance, reflecting the rich tapestry of religious traditions and beliefs. This article delves into the linguacultural features of religious onomastic words in English, exploring their etymology, semantic nuances, and cultural connotations. Through an analysis of religious onomastic words across various faith traditions, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, this article elucidates how these words encapsulate profound spiritual meanings while also serving as linguistic markers of cultural identity and heritage.
