A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a mononym, or "single name". In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
The structure of persons' names has varied across time and geography. In some communities, individuals have been mononymous, receiving only a single name. Alulim, first king of Sumer, is one of the earliest names known; Narmer, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, is another. Later, Biblical names were typically mononymous, as were names in the surrounding cultures of the Fertile Crescent. Ancient Greek names also follow the pattern, with second names only used to avoid confusion, as in the case of Zeno the Stoic and Zeno of Elea; patronymics or other biographic details (such as city of origin, or another city the individual was associated with, borough, occupation) were used to specify whom one was talking about, but these details were not considered part of the name.
Beauty and the Beast (French: La Belle et la Bête) is a traditional fairy tale written by French novelist Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve and published in 1740 in La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins. Her lengthy version was abridged, rewritten, and published by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont in 1756 in Magasin des enfants to produce the version most commonly retold.
Variants of the tale are known across Europe. In France, for example, Zémire et Azor is an operatic version of the story, written by Marmontel and composed by Grétry in 1771, which had enormous success well into the 19th century; it is based on the second version of the tale. Amour pour amour, by Nivelle de la Chaussée, is a 1742 play based on Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve's version. According to researchers at universities in Durham and Lisbon, the story originated around 4,000 years ago.

From the album "Last Chance, No Breaks" Produced by Redman & Rockwilder Rowdy Records, 1995. Jamal Phillips (born April 26, 1978), who performs under the mononym Jamal, is an American rapper and music producer. He started his career as one-half of rap duo Illegal, the rap act formed by Dallas Austin in the early 1990s. Phillips' tenure with Illegal was short-lived; following the lukewarm response to 1993's The Untold Truth — the group's full-length debut — Phillips embarked on a solo career. He teamed up with Erick Sermon of the Def Squad to release 1995's Last Chance, No Breaks, his debut release. The album (produced by Easy Mo Bee, Redman, Rockwilder and Sermon) peaked at #10 and #37 on Billboard magazine's Heatseekers and Top R&B;/Hip-Hop Albums charts respectively. The album also sp...

A stark portrayal of where our obsession with technology may lead us. One chapter from "Outside". Produced by Mononym Films for the Virgin Media Shorts Competition.
Il a le regard econome
Il a le verbe rare, ca me plait
Il aime le chant des colombes et l'odeur du cafe
Et ces petites choses qu'on fait sans y penser
C'est mon homme, mon drapeau
Mon homme, celui qu'il me faut
Je frissonne je prends l'eau
C'est mon homme, mon abri, mon lit, mon heros
Il ne saurait pas comment briller
Ou comme un phare banal, oublie
Dans sa mer ordinaire
Il brise les vagues sans voir
Ces milliers de lumieres
Qu'il m'offre sans le vouloir
C'est mon homme, mon drapeau
Mon homme, celui qu'il me faut
Je frissonne je prends l'eau
C'est mon homme, mon feu, mon repos
C'est mon homme, mon ami
Qui pardonne, celui qu'on choisit
Je tatonne, je faillis
C'est mon homme qui fait ce qu'il dit
C'est mon homme je l'admire
Mon ozone, l'air que je respire
Mon opium, mon jour
