agreement

the phenomenon in many cultures found among a person’s given names, where they all carry the same value for the feature of gender; a. is often noted for its absence, e.g., “Carl Maria Friedrich Ernst von Weber” where the second given name is a feminine name, here given to a boy; in Latin countries we have the name of “Jose Maria” given to boys and “Maria Jose” to girls; in Latin the modifiers to a noun must exhibit a. in both gender and case with the noun; cf. Chapter 3, §1, ¶6
