Zeitgenössischen Begriffsbestimmungen von »Mediation« fehlt die historische Tiefe. Schon vor Jahrhunderten als
»Mediatoren« bezeichnete Friedensstifter konnten auf ein viel breiteres Repertoire von Ressourcen zurückgreifen, als heute diskutiert werden. In ihrer mehrheitlich christlichen Kultur gehörte bereits die Bezeichnung »Mediator« selbst zu diesen Ressourcen, die sie von Jesus Christus, dem in den Worten des Neuen Testaments einzigen »Mediator« zwischen Gott und den Menschen, übernommen hatten. Es lässt sich zeigen, dass der Erfolg von »Mediatoren« wesentlich davon abhing, ob sie entweder die Möglichkeit hatten, eigene Machtmittel einzusetzen, oder ob sie stattdessen auf einen institutionellen Rahmen zurückgreifen konnten, der ihnen ihre Arbeit ermöglichte und diese trug.

The aim of this paper is to describe the system behind personal names in Hadiyya. The bulk of the paper analyses the semantics of personal names. Hadiyya personal names express social, economic and political circumstances accompanying the birth of a child. Name givers express their wishes, desires and emotions through personal names. The close examination of names over generations indicates a gradual shift from typical Had-iyya names to modified Amharic-based names. Since the advent of Christianity in the region, Biblical names have also become common. The historical underpinnings for the shift to Amharic-based and Biblical names are language and cultural contact. All Hadiyya personal names display vowel endings that mark case and gender. Like other nouns in the language, per-sonal names can have simple, derived or compound form. Interestingly, most Hadiyya personal names can be translated freely with relative or agentive readings. Personal names can have a perfective reading describing past experience or an imperfective reading expressing wishes for the future. Though Hadiyya is a morphologically complex language and hence all the above grammatical notions are overtly marked, they are omitted in the morphology of personal names. The use of inflectional and derivational morphemes is minimal. Hadiyya personal names are therefore special word classes that tend to display a simplified morphosyntactic structure and free translation.

The article presents an exploratory analysis of the significance of personal names in contemporary Western societies, the UK in particular. Names are seen as having the dual character of denoting the individuality of the person, and also marking social connections.The focus is particularly on kinship, and the ways in which names can be, and are, used to map family connections as well as to identify unique individuals.The author argues that both surnames and forenames can serve to ground the individual within family relationships, though the extent to which this is used actively can vary. In turn the way in which names and naming are used within the family context sheds light upon contemporary kinship, with its enduring and variable dimensions. Additional empirical exploration of names and naming could further illuminate its characteristics.
