This research aims to analyze the possible social meanings of proper names attributed to enslaved Africans represented in two artistic works: the novel Beloved, by Toni Morrison, and the collection of graphic short stories Cumbe, by Marcelo D’Salete. For this, we resort to the Anthroponymy studies, an Onomastics field responsible for investigate the origins of people proper names, together with the language philosophy and aesthetic creation. The analyzes performed were supported by authors such as Bakhtin (2014), Álvarez Lopez (2015), Marcato (2009) and Van Stipriaan (2008). Beyond that, we used official documents (birth certificates), dictionaries and pamphlets in newspapers to strengthen our research.
