An example of something homophonic is a piece of music with chords, where two instruments play the same line of melody in the same rhythm; however, one instrument plays one note and a second intrument places a note in harmony. An example of homophonic words are pair and pear. Having the same sound.

What is an example of homophonic texture?

So, a homophonic texture is where you can have multiple different notes playing, but they’re all based around the same melody. A rock or pop star singing a song while playing guitar or piano at the same time is an example of homophonic texture.

A homophone () is a word that is pronounced the same (to varying extent) as another word but differs in meaning. A homophone may also differ in spelling. The two words may be spelled the same, for example rose (flower) and rose (past tense of «rise»), or spelled differently, as in rain, reign, and rein. The term homophone may also apply to units longer or shorter than words, for example a phrase, letter, or groups of letters which are pronounced the same as another phrase, letter, or group of letters. Any unit with this property is said to be homophonous ().

Venn diagram showing the relationships between homophones (blue circle) and related linguistic concepts

Homophones that are spelled the same are also both homographs and homonyms, e.g. the word read, as in «He is well read» (he is very learned) vs. the sentence «I read that book» (I have finished reading that book).[a]

Homophones that are spelled differently are also called heterographs, e.g. to, too, and two.

EtymologyEdit

«Homophone» derives from Greek homo- (ὁμο‑), «same», and phōnḗ (φωνή), «voice, utterance».

Wordplay and gamesEdit

Homophones are often used to create puns and to deceive the reader (as in crossword puzzles) or to suggest multiple meanings. The last usage is common in poetry and creative literature. An example of this is seen in Dylan Thomas’s radio play Under Milk Wood: «The shops in mourning» where mourning can be heard as mourning or morning. Another vivid example is Thomas Hood’s use of birth and berth as well as told and toll’d (tolled) in his poem «Faithless Sally Brown»:

His death, which happen’d in his berth,
At forty-odd befell:
They went and told the sexton, and
The sexton toll’d the bell.

In some accents, various sounds have merged in that they are no longer distinctive, and thus words that differ only by those sounds in an accent that maintains the distinction (a minimal pair) are homophonous in the accent with the merger. Some examples from English are:

  • pin and pen in many southern American accents
  • by and buy
  • merry, marry, and Mary in most American accents
  • The pairs do and due as well as forward and foreword are homophonous in most American accents but not in most English accents
  • The pairs talk and torque as well as court and caught are distinguished in rhotic accents, such as Scottish English, and most dialects of American English, but are homophones in some non-rhotic accents, such as British Received Pronunciation

Wordplay is particularly common in English because the multiplicity of linguistic influences offers considerable complication in spelling and meaning and pronunciation compared with other languages.

Malapropisms, which often create a similar comic effect, are usually near-homophones. See also Eggcorn.

Same-sounding phrasesEdit

Same-sounding (homophonous, or homophonic) phrases are often used in various word games. Examples of same-sounding phrases (which may only be true homophones in certain dialects of English) include:

  • ice cream vs. I scream (as in the meme I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream.)
  • euthanasia vs. Youth in Asia
  • depend vs. deep end
  • Gemini vs. gem in eye vs. Jim and I (vs. Jem in eye)
  • the sky vs. this guy (most notably as a mondegreen in «Purple Haze» by Jimi Hendrix)
  • four candles vs. fork handles
  • sand which is there vs. sandwiches there
  • philanderers vs. Flanders
  • example vs. egg sample
  • some others vs. some mothers vs. smothers

American comedian Jeff Foxworthy frequently uses same-sounding phrases in his Appalachian comedy routine, which play on exaggerated «country» accents. Notable examples include:

  • Initiate vs. and then she ate: «My wife ate two sandwiches, initiate a bag o’ tater chips.»
  • Mayonnaise vs. Man, there is: «Mayonnaise a lot of people here tonight.»
  • Innuendo vs. in your window: «Hey dude I saw a bird fly innuendo.»
  • Moustache vs. must ask: «I Moustache you a question.»

During the 1980s, an attempt was made to promote a distinctive term for same-sounding multiple words or phrases, by referring to them as «oronyms»,[b]
but the term oronym was already well established in linguistics as an onomastic designation for a class of toponymic features (names of mountains, hills, etc.),[2] the alternative use of the same term was not well accepted in scholarly literature.[3]

NumberEdit

EnglishEdit

There are sources[4] which maintain lists of homophones (words with identical pronunciations but different spellings) and even ‘multinyms.’ There is disagreement among such lists due to dialectical variations in pronunciation and archaic uses. In English, concerning groups of homophones (excluding proper nouns), there are approximately 88 triplets, 24 quadruplets, 2 quintuplets, 1 sextet, 1 septet, and 1 questionable octet (possibly a second septet). The questionable octet is:

raise, rays, rase, raze, rehs, res, reais, [race]

Other than the common words raise, rays, and race this octet includes

  • raze – a verb meaning «to demolish, level to the ground» or «to scrape as if with a razor»
  • rase – an archaic verb meaning «to erase»
  • rehs – the plural of reh, a mixture of sodium salts found as an efflorescence in India
  • res – the plural of re, a name for one step of the musical scale; obsolete legal term for «the matter» or «incident»
  • reais – the plural of real, the currency unit of Brazil

The inclusion of «race» in the octet above is questionable, since its pronunciation differs from the other words on the list (ending with /s/ instead of /z/).

If proper names are included, then a possible nonet would be:

  • Ayr – a town in Scotland
  • Aire – a river in Yorkshire
  • Eyre – legal term and various geographic locations
  • heir – one who inherits
  • air – the ubiquitous atmospheric gas that people breathe; a type of musical tune
  • err – to make an error
  • ere – poetic / archaic «before»
  • e’er – poetic «ever» (some speakers)
  • are – a defunct, small, metric unit of area

GermanEdit

There are many homophones in present-day standard German. As in other languages, however, there exists regional and/or individual variation in certain groups of words or in single words, so that the number of homophones varies accordingly. Regional variation is especially common in words that exhibit the long vowels ä and e. According to the well-known dictionary Duden, these vowels should be distinguished as /ɛ:/ and /e:/, but this is not always the case, so that words like Ähre (ear of corn) and Ehre (honor) may or may not be homophones.
Individual variation is shown by a pair like Gäste (guests) – Geste (gesture), the latter of which varies between /ˈɡe:stə/ and /ˈɡɛstə/ and by a pair like Stiel (handle, stalk) – Stil (style), the latter of which varies between /ʃtiːl/ and /stiːl/.

Besides websites that offer extensive lists of German homophones,[5] there are others which provide numerous sentences with various types of homophones.[6] In the German language homophones occur in more than 200 instances. Of these, a few are triples like

  • Waagen (weighing scales) – Wagen (cart) – wagen (to dare)
  • Waise (orphan) – Weise (way, manner) – weise (wise)

Most are couples like lehren (to teach) – leeren (to empty).

SpanishEdit

Although Spanish has far fewer homophones than in English, they are far from being non-existent. Some are homonyms, such as basta, which can either mean ‘enough’ or ‘coarse’, but most exist because of homophonous letters. For example, the letters b and v are pronounced exactly alike, so the words basta (coarse) and vasta (vast) are pronounced identically.[7]

Other homonyms are etymologically related, but have different genders, and in some cases the different genders producing different lexical items. In the case of persona, el persona (the male or ungendered/unidentified person) and la persona (the female person) are the masculine and feminine forms of the noun persona (person) respectively. However, el capital and la capital have drastically different meanings, in which the masculine noun means ‘money’ and the feminine noun means ‘capital city’ or ‘capital letter’.[8]

JapaneseEdit

There are many homophones in Japanese, due to the use of Sino-Japanese vocabulary, where borrowed words and morphemes from Chinese are widely used in Japanese, but many sound differences, such as the original words’ tones, are lost.[citation needed] These are to some extent disambiguated via Japanese pitch accent (i.e. 日本 vs. 二本, both pronounced nihon, but with different pitches), or from context, but many of these words are primarily or almost exclusively used in writing, where they are easily distinguished as they are written with different kanji; others are used for puns, which are frequent in Japanese.

An extreme example is kikō (hiragana: きこう), which is the pronunciation of at least 22 words (some quite rare or specialized, others common; all these examples are two-character compounds), including:

  • 機構 (organization / mechanism)
  • 紀行 (travelogue)
  • 稀覯 (rare)
  • 騎行 (horseback riding)
  • 貴校 (school (respectful))
  • 奇功 (outstanding achievement)
  • 貴公 (word for «you» used by men addressing male equals or inferiors)
  • 起稿 (draft)
  • 奇行 (eccentricity)
  • 機巧 (contrivance)
  • 寄港 (stopping at port)
  • 帰校 (returning to school)
  • 気功 (breathing exercise, qigong)
  • 寄稿 (contribute an article / a written piece)
  • 機甲 (armor, e.g. of a tank)
  • 帰航 (homeward voyage)
  • 奇効 (remarkable effect)
  • 季候 (season / climate)
  • 気孔 (stoma)
  • 起工 (setting to work)
  • 気候 (climate)
  • 帰港 (returning to port)

Even some native Japanese words are homophones. For example, kami (かみ) is the pronunciation of the words

  • 紙 (paper)
  • 髪 (hair)
  • 神 (god/spirit)
  • 上 (up)

The former two words are disambiguated from the latter two by pitch accent.

KoreanEdit

The Korean language contains a combination of words that strictly belong to Korean and words that are loanwords from Chinese. Due to Chinese being pronounced with varying tones and Korean’s removal of those tones, and because the modern Korean writing system, Hangeul, has a more finite number of phonemes than, for example, Latin-derived alphabets such as that of English, there are many homonyms with both the same spelling and pronunciation.
For example

  • ‘화장(化粧)하다‘: ‘to put on makeup’ vs. ‘화장(火葬)하다‘: ‘to cremate’
  • ‘유산(遺産)‘: ‘inheritance’ vs. ‘유산(流産)‘: ‘miscarriage’
  • ‘방구‘: ‘fart’ vs. ‘방구(防具)‘: ‘guard’
  • ‘밤[밤ː]’: ‘chestnut’ vs. ‘밤’: ‘night’

There are heterographs, but far fewer, contrary to the tendency in English. For example,

  • ‘학문(學問)’: ‘learning’ vs. ‘항문(肛門)’: ‘anus’.

Using hanja (한자; 漢字), which are Chinese characters, such words are written differently.

As in other languages, Korean homonyms can be used to make puns. The context in which the word is used indicates which meaning is intended by the speaker or writer.

Mandarin ChineseEdit

Due to phonological constraints in Mandarin syllables (as Mandarin only allows for an initial consonant, a vowel, and a nasal or retroflex consonant in respective order), there are only a little over 400 possible unique syllables that can be produced,[9] compared to over 15,831 in the English language.[10]

Chinese has an entire genre of poems taking advantage of the large amount of homophones called one-syllable articles, or poems where every single word in the poem is pronounced as the same syllable if tones are disregarded. An example is the Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den.

Like all Chinese languages, Mandarin uses phonemic tones to distinguish homophonic syllables; Mandarin has five tones. A famous example,

  • mā (妈) means «mother»
  • má (麻) means «hemp»
  • mă (马) means «horse»
  • mà (骂) means «scold»
  • ma (吗) is a yes / no question particle

Although all these words consist of the same string of consonants and vowels, the only way to distinguish each of these words audibly is by listening to which tone the word has, and as shown above, saying a consonant-vowel string using a different tone can produce an entirely different word altogether. If tones are included, the number of unique syllables in Mandarin increases to at least 1,522.[11]

However, even with tones, Mandarin retains a very large amount of homophones. Yì, for example, has at least 125 homophones,[12] and it is the pronunciation used for Chinese characters such as 义, 意, 易, 亿, 议, 一, and 已.

There are even place names in China that have identical pronunciations, aside for the difference in tone. For example, there are two neighboring provinces with nearly identical names, Shanxi (山西) and Shaanxi (陕西) Province. The only difference in pronunciation between the two names are the tone in the first syllable (Shanxi is pronounced Shānxī whereas Shaanxi is pronounced Shǎnxī). As most languages exclude the tone diacritics when transcribing Chinese place names into their own languages, the only way to visually distinguish the two names is to write Shaanxi in Gwoyeu Romatzyh romanization. Otherwise, nearly all other spellings of placenames in mainland China are spelled using Hanyu Pinyin romanization.

Many scholars believe that the Chinese language did not always have such a large number of homophones and that the phonological structure of Chinese syllables was once more complex, which allowed for a larger amount of possible syllables so that words sounded more distinct from each other.

Scholars also believe that Old Chinese had no phonemic tones, but tones emerged in Middle Chinese to replace sounds that were lost from Old Chinese. Since words in Old Chinese sounded more distinct from each other at this time, it explains why many words in Classical Chinese consisted of only one syllable. For example, the Standard Mandarin word 狮子(shīzi, meaning «lion») was simply 狮 (shī) in Classical Chinese, and the Standard Mandarin word 教育 (jiàoyù, «education») was simply 教 (jiào) in Classical Chinese.

Since many Chinese words became homophonic over the centuries, it became difficult to distinguish words when listening to documents written in Classical Chinese being read aloud. One-syllable articles like those mentioned above are evidence for this. For this reason, many one-syllable words from Classical Chinese became two-syllable words, like the words mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Even with the existence of two- or two-syllable words, however, there are even multisyllabic homophones. Such homophones even play a major role in daily life throughout China, including Spring Festival traditions, which gifts to give (and not give), political criticism, texting, and many other aspects of people’s lives.[13]

Another complication that arises within the Chinese language is that in non-rap songs, tones are disregarded in favor of maintaining melody in the song.[14] While in most cases, the lack of phonemic tones in music does not cause confusion among native speakers, there are instances where puns may arise.

Subtitles in Chinese characters are usually displayed on music videos and in songs sung on movies and TV shows to disambiguate the song’s lyrics.

VietnameseEdit

It is estimated that there are approximately 4,500 to 4,800 possible syllables in Vietnamese, depending on the dialect.[15] The exact number is difficult to calculate because there are significant differences in pronunciation among the dialects. For example, the graphemes and digraphs «d», «gi», and «r» are all pronounced /z/ in the Hanoi dialect, so the words dao (knife), giao (delivery), and rao (advertise) are all pronounced /zaw˧/. In Saigon dialect, however, the graphemes and digraphs «d», «gi», and «v» are all pronounced /j/, so the words dao (knife), giao (delivery), and vao (enter) are all pronounced /jaw˧/.

Pairs of words that are homophones in one dialect may not be homophones in the other. For example, the words sắc (sharp) and xắc (dice) are both pronounced /săk˧˥/ in Hanoi dialect, but pronounced /ʂăk˧˥/ and /săk˧˥/ in Saigon dialect respectively.

Psychological researchEdit

Pseudo-homophonesEdit

Pseudo-homophones are pseudowords that are phonetically identical to a word. For example, groan/grone and crane/crain are pseudo-homophone pairs, whereas plane/plain is a homophone pair since both letter strings are recognised words. Both types of pairs are used in lexical decision tasks to investigate word recognition.[16]

Use as ambiguous informationEdit

Homophones, specifically heterographs, where one spelling is of a threatening nature and one is not (e.g. slay/sleigh, war/wore) have been used in studies of anxiety as a test of cognitive models that those with high anxiety tend to interpret ambiguous information in a threatening manner.[17]

Same is one of the most common words in the English language. It has been long used as an adjective, a pronoun or quasi-determiner, or even as a noun proper. But being roped into use as an adverb is now fairly rare in today’s literature, and is almost only ever used to mark rustic or uneducated speech. You probably should not do that.

I’m afraid that the referenced learner’s dictionary has compressed matters down so far as to leave you with a misrepresentation. It is not possible for a multiword phrase to “be” a part of speech like a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. When we write:

The man walked the dog.

Then your subject and your object, respectively “the man” and “the dog”, are not themselves nouns the way man and dog alone are. Rather, they are noun phrases, which have their own anatomies and anomalies. Here you know you have a noun phrase because of the definite article the preceding both nouns. You also know you have a noun phrase because only noun phrases can serve as subjects and objects.

Now let’s expand our sentence:

The man walked the dog and the cat at the same time.

We’ve created a compound direct object by connecting the dog and the cat using a coördinating conjunction, and then we’ve added a prepositional phrase at the very end. That “at the same time bit there at the end is neither a noun or a verb nor an adjective or an adverb. It’s a prepositional phrase composed of the preposition the and the noun phrase the same time. In that noun phrase, the is a definite article, same is an adjective, and time is a noun. The entire prepositional phrase is an adverbial modifier of the predicate. But it isn’t an adverb, and it contains no adverbs within it, either.

Prepositional phrases are a type of syntactic constituent that can be used in the same way that you can use a modifying adjective or adverb.

  1. I’ll see you then.
  2. I’ll see you on the last Sunday in April.

Notice how there I’m using the preposition on followed by a noun phrase. It is a property of noun phrases in English that they can sometimes be used as modifying phrases despite having no connecting preposition. For example, here we can delete the preposition with no change in meaning:

  1. I’ll see you the last Sunday in April.

That’s what’s going on with your example:

An uncommitted player reacts to different alliance types the same.

That’s not an adverb: it’s a noun phrase being used as an adverbial modifier of the predicate.

Here’s something that looks the same as your example, but isn’t. When someone says:

Person 1: I’d like a fresh beer.

Person 2: I’d like the same.

That one isn’t a modifier, though. That’s a substantive use because it’s the object. The word same itself is probably best thought of as a sort of pronoun that originated as a nominalized adjective meaning same thing. We make pronouns like this a lot in English, like when we talk about the other meaning a person. It is rather rare but possible to use same in this way without the article, or with actual nominal inflection into the plural. Here’s one of each:

  • 1926 in H. W. Fowler Mod. Eng. Usage 512/1
    Sir,—Having in mind the approaching General Election, it appears to me that the result of same is likely to be as much a farce as the last.
  • 1977 Trans. Philol. Soc. 1975 9
    Certain configurations in languages typically result from the principled (‘lawful’) divergence over time of original sames.

That first example from Fowler still shows up from time to time in legal language, but it’s not very well thought of. The second example is a highly specialized use you’ll rarely come across.

Just as we can omit the defined article from “the same” in select substantive uses, we can also do so when using it as an an adverbial modifying phrase. Doing so is more common than the strange-sounding examples I just provided, but it remains little done in literature, with most modern examples considered to be representative of dialect, illiterate, or jocular speech.

When you use the noun phrase “the same” as an adverbial modifying phrase, it mean “in the same manner”. Here are some examples of that from the OED over the past century and a half or so:

  • 1857 ‘S. Sondnokkur’ Ryde fro Ratchda to Manchistur (ed. 2) iv. 9
    Aw kuddunt elp wundurin..wether it wur to put iz grund coffi in, saym uz wi dun o whoam.
  • 1857 ‘S. Sondnokkur’ Ryde fro Ratchda to Manchistur (ed. 2) vi. 14
    Thir wur o rattlin saym uz uv o lot a peawur looms.
  • 1861 ‘G. Eliot’ Silas Marner xviii. 325
    You’ll never think the same of me again.
  • 1884 ‘M. Twain’ Adventures Huckleberry Finn ii. 24
    Strange niggers would..look him all over, same as if he was a wonder.
  • 1930 W. Faulkner As I lay Dying 4
    She ought to taken those cakes when she same as gave you her word.
  • 1933 M. Lowry Ultramarine i. 16
    He knows bloody well same as myself it doesn’t pay to shout and be unkind to youngsters.
  • 1957 L. P. Hartley Hireling viii. 65
    But I shouldn’t be able to serve them personally, same as I do now.
  • 1975 Listener 6 Feb. 174/1
    There was no work… They were all bad years, because, same as I say, there was nothing.

Those examples of same without a definite article really are places where it’s an adverb. They’re also considered ‘sloppy’ speech, not something educated speakers say, deliberately used that way to convey that point. The same thing happens in the phrase “same like” where it means ‘just like’:

  • 1959 A. Christie Cat among Pigeons ix. 107
    ‘See no evil, hear no evil, think no evil. Same like the monkeys,’ observed Sergeant Percy Bond.
  • 1968 ‘L. Egan’ Serious Investigation vi. 78
    But same like the gent in Holy Writ, Beware the anger of a patient man.
  • 1973 G. Mitchell Murder of Busy Lizzie xv. 185
    Ain’t going to be no share-out. Same like the boy with the apple-core, if you happen to know that story.
  • 1980 I. Murdoch Nuns & Soldiers vii. 382
    I have rich friends, same like you.

Another rare adverbial use is the little-seen compound same-ways:

  • 1887 Sir W. Thomson in Nature 3 Oct. 546/2
    Every A is at the centre of an equal and similar, and same-ways oriented, tetrahedron of O’s.

You’re safest using same with the if you’re going to use it adverbially:

  1. I always cook it the same as my grandma made it.

But be again warned that this is now rare in literary use. A more carefully worded version of that might be:

  1. I always cook it the same way (that) my grandma made it.

That said, I can find little fault in examples where “the same” is used to mean the opposite of differently:

  1. We never treat our children differently.
  2. We strive to treat all our children the same.

The OED still thinks that flavor doesn’t show up much in literature any longer.

If someone shares the same name as you, you might want to know whether there’s a word you can use to apply to them. In Dutch, the word “naamgenoot” (meaning “member of the same name”) is exactly what we’re looking for. Unfortunately, we’re not using the Dutch language.

What Do You Call A Person With The Same Name As You?

You can call someone with the same name as you a “name-fellow” or a “namesake.” “Name-fellow” is an adjective used to describe someone, while “namesake” is a noun you can use in place of the person. You might also hear newer terms without official meanings, like “name-twin.”

What Do You Call A Person With The Same Name As You?

According to The Cambridge Dictionary, the definition of “namesake” is “a person or thing having the same name as another person or thing.”

In this article, we’ll look at the following words and how they can be used to talk about a person with the same name as you:

  • Namesake
  • Name-fellow
  • Name-twin

We’ll start off with the most appropriate term to use to talk about someone who has the same name as you. Right from the start, it’s important to note that this is a noun, not an adjective, so we can’t use it to describe someone.

For example, if we wrote:

  • A namesake friend

It would be incorrect because “namesake” is acting like an adjective here.

  • My friend is my namesake.

This sentence is the correct way to use “namesake” because we treat it as a noun. We’re simply saying that our “friend” has the same name as we do.

“Namesake” means that two people have the same name. It can also relate to a person being named after a thing rather than another person. It’s most commonly used to talk about familial connections (like a son being named after his father).

Usually, a namesake is related to you in some way. You can use it to say that somebody was named after you rather than simply saying that they share the same name with you. Of course, both meanings still apply, so it’s up to you which one works better in the context.

  1. My brother has been my namesake since I was born first.
  2. My father was the namesake to his father before him.
  3. I swear, my friend is my namesake. Even his surname is identical to mine.

From these examples, we can see that “namesake” mostly refers to a familial connection of some kind. We can sometimes use it in the case of friendly connections, but it’s much less common.

Name-Fellow

Next, we’ll look at “name-fellow.” “Name-fellow” is a neologism, which basically means it’s a newly coined phrase or expression that people use without it being officially recognized by most dictionaries.

A “name-fellow” is someone who shares the same name as you. The term “fellow” is used to talk about people that have the same job or interests as you. Included “-fellow” as a suffix means that someone is the same as you based on the first word.

According to The Cambridge Dictionary, the definition of “fellow” is “used to refer to someone who has the same job or interests as you, or is in the same situation as you.”

That means we can apply the word “fellow” to the end of the word “name” to change the meaning to say that it’s used to refer to someone who has the same name as you. While not officially recognized, it’s widely accepted by most native speakers.

  1. You must be my name-fellow, David! I’m also David!
  2. Shaun is a name-fellow of mine if you haven’t already noticed!
  3. Hey, man! We’re name-fellows! What are the chances of that?

“Name-fellow” is an adjective. That means we can use it to describe a person we’re talking about rather than having to use it as a noun with “namesake.” It works in all situations where a name is shared between two people.

Name-Twin

The word “name-twin” is another neologism we can talk about. Again, it’s not officially recognized, but if you say it to any native speaker, they’ll understand what you’re saying when they notice that two people are sharing the same name.

“Name-twin” is a newly coined term used to mean that two people share the same name. The term “twin” is used to show that two people are identical, and in this case, it talks about the identical nature of their names.

According to The Cambridge Dictionary, the definition of “twin” is “one of two very similar things.”

While a “twin” usually refers to two siblings born on the same day, it doesn’t have to mean that when used in the sense of “name-twin.” Instead, it can be used to simply say that two names are very similar or, in the case of this article, identical.

  1. Oh my gosh! We’re name-twins! I didn’t even realize!
  2. You have the same name as me! We’re definitely name-twins!
  3. This is my new name-twin, Steven Stevenson.

Homonymous

Finally, we can use the word “homonymous” to talk about two people who share the same name. This word originates from the Greek term “homonym.”

“Homonymous” means that two people share the same name. It usually refers to the sounds of the names rather than the direct spelling. That means “Sean” and “Shaun” are homonymous because they’re said the same, but they’re not spelt the same.

According to The Cambridge Dictionary, the definition of “homonym” is “a word that sounds the same or is spelt the same as another word but has a different meaning.”

“Homonym” is the noun form, but “homonymous” is the adjective we can use to describe people with similar-sounding names. It’s also the only word on this list that talks more about the sounds of the names rather than the identical spellings.

  1. Hey, my name is Shaun, and this is my homonymous friend, Sean!
  2. Hannah, you’re homonymous with my name! I’m Hanna!
  3. I just heard you’re called Gary! You’re my new homonymous friend because my name is Garry!

See how all of the names are said the same, but the spellings are different. This is how we would use “homonymous” in the case of names.
