The type pf a personal name and the language system to which these names adhere to are two very significant components to determine the morphological pattern of a personal name. Arabic is a synthetic fusional language that allows morphological operations to be applied to the root itself as non-concatenative operations involved. This survey of morphology is precisely focused on the different ways of analyzing and describing the morphological patterns that Jordanian personal names follow through their formation process relying on the derivational and inflectional approaches. conventionally, we referred to the associations that make up various parts of lexeme as morphological patterns; thus, the current analysis revealed and identified the patterns in which Jordanian personal names fall including derivation processes; verbal nouns derived from trilateral, quadrilateral, and quinquiliteral verb roots, compounding, diminutivization, and reduplication; in addition to the inflectional processes including pluralization and personal names inflected for gender. It is quite obvious that Jordanian personal names could be morphologically classified as derived and inflected names besides each patterns involves a set of word’s structure operations that mark a name as derivationally or inflectionally formulated.
