The text analyses the process of naming Animals by humans. This process is treated here as a complex
phenomenon that has its psychological, sociological, social, philosophical and linguistic aspects. In the text, the Author focuses on two sides of the coin: naming animals can be treated as an act of subjectivisation, but on the other hand, by giving names to animals, humans try to reproduce an anthropocentric hierarchy of species. In this context it is worth analyzing not only giving names, but also abandoning or changing them.
