الملخص الإنجليزي

The aim of this study is to investigate the socio-cultural implication of Jordanian nicknames.

That is, it will illustrate the characteristic, meaning, structures, legality, and origins of these nicknames used in social media.

Although the users of these nicknames play manipulate with their nicknames, the nicks they choose are playing a very important role in highlighting the identity of Jordanian and provide a window into their culture.

It has been realized that different types of nicknames are used by Jordanians which attract the researcher attention to find out the reasons behind using such names.

The focus of this research is to clarify how nicknames are connected with several social variables such as : Identity, race, gender, religion and social status.

For this reason 350 nicknames were collected from several social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and WhatsApp...), analyzed and classified.

The study reveals that most of these names are used to express socio-cultural values which exist in the Jordanian community such as: loyalty to country, area & tribe, proud of self and family, religious values, emotional values & love expressions, psychological and traits, ethics and principles, nature and beauty.

The most important finding of the study is that the variation in the life style of Jordanian people does influence the way of choosing nicknames in community.
