The dictionary contains 4,000 English personal names and their derivatives used in Great Britain, the USA and other countries of the English language. Since the pronunciation of even well-known names has a number of features in English, a phonetic transcription is given for each name. Many Russian equivalents of names include, in addition to normative transliteration, traditional transmission. Full and original names are supplied with a brief etymological reference. The dictionary is intended for people working with English literature, translators, scientists, journalists, librarians, radio and television workers.
