Ego network of the name Sokrates to evaluate the cultural-linguistic sphere of the families that used this name from the Hellenisitic to the Byzantine periods. The transition from an almost exclusively Greek environment in the Ptolemaic period to a gradually more Egyptian genealogical context in the course of the early Imperial period is a nice illustration of the trickle-down effect of elite names.
Construction
Nodes represent names, which are connected by a directed edge if a person with the outgoing node name gives the incoming node name to their child. The node of the name Sokrates, for example, has an edge directed to the node of the name Herakleides if at least one person called Sokrates has a son named Herakleides. In other words, the edges are based on genealogical relationships. The graph is also weighted: if multiple father-child pairs with the names Sokrates & Herakleides exist, then the relation between these two names is stronger.
