	Names in a patrilineal or patriarchal society can serve to render women's identities, accomplishments, history, and lives invisible. A woman who marries and changes her name with each marriage, or whose children take their names from their fathers, lend significant difficulty in tracing her life and history. A woman who is under economic or social pressure not to use her own or original name because it is [[gendered]] is forced to thereby contribute to the erasure and invisibility of ''women'' as a sex in the historical record.

Names and naming are powerful tools in constructing how we think of people or things, and how information is controlled or passed on.

Consider:

* Pronouns, such as [[per]], which establish gender identity
* Surnames & family [[Naming Conventions|naming conventions]]
* [[Honorifics]] which establish gender identity, politics, class rank, marital status, etc. (Mr., Ms., Mrs., Miss)
* The practice of using [[Pseudonyms|pseudonyms]] or [[Initials|initials]] to disguise gendered names
* [[Gendered Personal Names|Gendered personal names]] (Michele vs. Michel, Anna, James)

Names in a patrilineal or patriarchal society can serve to render women's identities, accomplishments, history, and lives invisible. A woman who marries and changes her name with each marriage, or whose children take their names from their fathers, lend significant difficulty in tracing her life and history. A woman who is under economic or social pressure not to use her own or original name because it is [[gendered]] is forced to thereby contribute to the erasure and invisibility of ''women'' as a sex in the historical record.

Women who are given gender-ambiguous names (e.g., "Terry" in English) face a similar problem, because gender-ambiguous names may be read as a masculine default, especially if the woman is operating in a setting in which women are a minority.
