This paper presents the recently founded Nordic network New Trends in Nordic Socio-Onomastics. The research network started as a workshop program during 2018 and 2019 which was funded by The Joint Committee for Nordic Research Councils in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The aim was to stimulate innovative research development within the socio-onomastic field by enabling Nordic researchers to come together, participate in discussions, explore new theoretical and methodological tools and identify new problem areas suitable for future joint Nordic projects. In this paper we will present the network and the activities that have been organized in order to enhance international collaboration. We will also discuss the current state of Socio-onomastics in the Nordic countries and identify some important objectives and areas for future research.
