Although individual and personal, names take on their significance in social interaction. Since the context of social interaction changes with immigration, names can be expected to change as well. In this paper, we use information from the Public Use Sample of the 1910 U.S. census to compare the patterns of personal (given) names of first- and second-generation Italian and Jewish immigrants and native-born whites of native parentage, and to examine the association of naming patterns of immigrants with several measures indicating interaction with those outside the ethnic group. Because the information from the census is at a single point in time, we also draw on interviews with elderly Italian and Jewish women in order to provide more direct evidence of change and of the contexts in which this change occurred.

“…The 1940 and 1950 censuses were still protected by census confidentiality rules, so the samples were created within the Census Bureau between 1978 and 1984 with funding from an NSF grant. Preston moved to the University of Pennsylvania in 1979 and, with the release of the 1910 census manuscripts in 1982, he led a project between 1983 and 1989 to create a sample of the 1910 census with funding from both NSF and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) [8], [10], [30], [34], [38], [39].…”
