Our intervention fits readily with the theme of the review. We opt for a lexico-semantic analysis of a sample of French and Mostaganémois surnames from 1900 to 1903, the period which followed the establishment of the code of the native population between 1873 and 1883. This analysis will highlight the policy of identity erasure undertaken by the colonizer.Our approach within the framework of this contribution consists in illustrating the mode of attribution of Algerian surnames according to a structure already in place in France and which remains at the antipodes of the traditional Maghreb onomastic tradition. Indeed, through a comparative reading between a series of surnames chosen on a site specializing in French surnames and another series collected by us in previous research, we will highlight this deliberate desire of the colonizer to sweep away an Arab-Muslim identity already in place via a Maghrebian onomastic destructuring on a French onomastic model.
Keywords: French surnames, Mostaganémois surnames, identity erasure, onomastic destructuring, onomastic restructuring.
