Phraseological units, or fixed expressions, are an integral part of any language, often reflecting the cultural, historical, and linguistic heritage of a particular society. Among the diverse types of phraseological units, those that incorporate proper names, such as the names of people, places, or literary characters, are particularly fascinating to study. These phraseological units with proper names often carry unique connotations and meanings that go beyond the literal interpretation of the words, serving as vehicles for the transmission of cultural knowledge and social commentary.
