This dissertation has been written as part of the MA Program in the Classical Archaeology and the Ancient History of Macedonia at the International Hellenic University. In this paper I examine aspects of onomastics in ancient Macedonia and Epirus from the Archaic period down to the Roman era. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze major linguistic affinities and divergences between Macedonia and Epirus as demonstrated in the case of feminine compound names attested in epigraphic texts from these two regions. The text is structured as follows: the first chapter provides a basic theoretical analysis of the ancient Greek dialects from the Mycenaean period until the Roman era. The second chapter is concerned with the dialectal varieties of ancient Macedonia and Epirus in particular, as well as with a brief analysis of the epigraphic evidence found in these two areas respectively. The next chapter focuses on some aspects of the ancient Greek personal names, while the fourth and fifth chapters are a semantic and morphological analysis respectively of the Macedonian and Epirote feminine compound names. Finally, there is a catalogue in the form of an appendix listing the attested feminine compound names from both regions. The names are categorized alphabetically, but also with chronological and geographical references
