Meaning of necrónimo by furoya

1º_ It is the name that is put in homage or memory of someone deceased. It is not a widely used word, since it is interpreted that the only merit of the deceased is to have died; but it fits in some very specific situations, such as baptizing a baby with the same name as a brother who died previously. It is taken from the Greek 957; 949; 954; 961; 959; 962; ( nekrós , "corpse , dead" ) 959; 957; 959; 956; 945; ( onoma "name") . 2º_ There is in English the concept of deadname for the case in which someone changes their name, and it would be the "obsolete name, which is no longer going to be used" that in that language is interpreted as a dead name ( "dead name" ). In Spanish it began to be used with the same sense to 'necrónimo', despite the obvious difference between a "name already dead" and a "name of dead" (although strictly speaking 'nekros' in Greek was also used as an adjective).
