Resumo
An expression summarizes the dimension of Balzac’s literary project: “to compete with the civil
registry.” On the one hand, it provides a measure of the unprecedented realistic ambition with
which Balzac has marked the genre of the novel, by giving it the power to describe the society. On
the other, it also indicates the central place attributed to the proper name in The Human Comedy
as a history of France in the 19 th century. The purpose of this article is to analyze the poetics of
naming in Balzac, examining the functions of the proper name in his work and the way he named
his characters. My hypothesis is that the novelist has become a key chapter in the history of
literary onomastics: with him, the proper name has become a fundamental issue in the novel,
while its motivation has imposed itself as a true literary topos.
