but, if Anu's def'n is correct, onomastics includes jargon.
here's a broader effort, from W3:
1 a : the science or study of the origins and forms of words especially as used in a specialized field (as science or commerce) b : the science or study of the origin and forms of proper names of persons or places [any student of onomastics and of surnames in particular -- Otto Springer]
2 : the system underlying the formation and use of words especially for proper names or of words used in a specialized field [according to rules of Indo-European onomastics -- E.E.Herzfeld]
