The commonization of English proper nouns is one of the most important characteristics of semantic development of English. As an important part of modern English, converted English proper noun is the meaning extension of proper noun and is widely used in daily communization and English literature.

In the first part, the author will make a classification of converted English proper nouns and divide them into three kinds according to their origins.

There have been many researches on the commonization of English proper nouns and their extended meanings made by Chinese scholars, for example, Shan Junna and Yi jibin, from Heilongjiang, have offered their opinions concerning the origins of converted proper nouns and research significance of this topic in terms of cognition and interpretation in 《从文化视角看英语专有名词普通化》.As for foreign studies, many foreign scholars have made intensive studies on English proper nouns and polysemy in cognitive semantics. Such as On the Cognitive Bases of Metonymy and Certain Types of Word Formation by Koch, P from Philadelphia.Among these studies, there are only a few of them laying emphasis on commonization motivation.
