In regard to semantic differentiation the group of anthroponyms studied was divided into several types, depending on morphological roots. They are proper nouns or common nouns. A separate group consists of forms from a combination of letters, numbers, or graphic symbols.The anthroponyms analyzed are characterized by, among other things, diversity of onymic forms, maximal condensation of the contents, or combination of proper names with numbers. Also characteristic of them is the phenomenon of disregarding the principles of Polish orthography, as well as frequent, though not always correct, references to English spelling.
