List Of People With Reduplicated Names
This is a list of people with reduplicated names.
Reduplication, in linguistics, is a process by which the root or stem of a word, or part of it, is repeated. Alternative terms include cloning, doubling, duplication, and repetition. Reduplication has a grammatical function in some languages, such as plurality or intensification. It is also used to derive new words. The process of anthroponymy, or naming people, is frequently creative, and provides examples of this.
Reduplication in human names is sometimes used with hypocorisms, i.e., informal short versions of names. It is commonly used this way in French, e.g., the French name Louise becomes Loulou as a diminutive. The nicknames and fictional characters below include other examples.
