Abstract

This article examines the use of common names in idiomatic expressions, analyzes their linguistic and cultural significance, explores their origins and semantic development, and discusses their role in language learning and intercultural communication. The study highlights how personal names become lexicalized elements within phraseological units and contribute to the richness and expressiveness of language.
