ANA ISABEL BOULLON AGRELO

Ana Isabel Boullón Agrelo is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), affiliated with the Department of Galician Philology and the Faculty of Philology. She is a member of the FILGA research group and the Galician Language Institute (ILG). Her work focuses on onomastics (anthroponymy, toponymy), lexicography, and medieval text editing. She coordinates the Toponomasticon Hispaniae project (2020–present), funded by Spain’s Ministry of Science, involving 65 researchers across European universities.

Education: PhD from USC (1993) with a thesis on medieval Galician anthroponymy. Key research areas include Galician surname etymology (leading the Dictionary of Galician Surnames project), medieval documentation editing (e.g., Chronicle of Iria), and linguistic standardization at the Royal Galician Academy.

Research trends in her articles emphasize interdisciplinary onomastic studies, historical text analysis, and sociolinguistic aspects of names. Projects like Toponomasticon Hispaniae reflect her focus on Hispanic toponymy and collaborative research. Awards and grants are not explicitly listed, but her extensive publications and leadership roles highlight significant academic recognition.

Her work bridges historical linguistics and cultural studies, addressing Galician language evolution through names and place-names. She has supervised numerous projects and edited foundational texts, contributing to Galician cultural preservation and academic discourse.
