The author analyzes the names Mieszko and Dąbrówka / Doubravka in Polish and Czech historical sources. He also refers to contemporary linguistic research, which questions the existence of the name Mieczysław in the tenth century, and also the name Dąbrówka as the Polish form of the Czech name Doubravka. While the second one is certified in Czech texts and was used in the 10th century at the Czech court, the first is known only from the records of the first Polish chronicles. It is not confirmed by any earlier Latin or German chronicles or other documents from that period.

Autor analyzuje jména Mieszko a Dąbrówka/Doubravka v polských a českých historických pramenech. Odkazuje také na současné lingvistické studie, které zpochybňují existenci jména Mieczysław v desátém století a také jména Dąbrówka jako polské podoby českého jména Doubravka. Zatímco druhé je uváděno v českých textech a bylo použito v 10. století u českého knížecího dvora, první je známo pouze z prvních polských kronik. Není potvrzeno staršími latinskými nebo německými kronikami nebo jinými dokumenty z tohoto období.

The contribution is a critique of the article by J. Klenovský, who presented his own classification of the surnames of Moravian Jews. However, the thesis shows many professional shortcomings (e.g. missing citations, insufficient description of the material) and many of the presented etymological interpretations are highly questionable.

The article deals with nomenclatural names of minerals based on proper names of the persons associated with the Czech environment, and provides their etymologies. The names form part of the official mineralogical nomenclature and have been approved by the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association, i.e. the authority recognizing the existence of new minerals. In the nomenclature consisting of 5,975 items (as of October 2023), 88 names based on anthroponyms have been identified, formed usually from last names, first names or their combination. These words are neologisms known to a limited number of experts, but they nevertheless rank among full-fledged words of the Czech vocabulary that is closely connected to the history of Czech science.

This study is focused on scholarship on proper names within a sociolinguistic framework. The main aim of this study is to clarify the term socio-onomastics and its meaning and usage with regards to toponomastics. Special attention is paid to the genesis of socio-onomastics and to the relations between sociolinguistics, onomastics and socio-onomastics. The influence of social aspects on the act of naming and on the entire existence of names is also taken into consideration when discussing the use of socio-onomastics. The text discusses views and attitudes towards the topic presented in linguistic literature. The socio-onomastic aspects are predominantly studied in scholarship on personal names, e.g. name creation and choice. In the case of place names, they are studied more rarely and the research pays attention mostly to the usage of place names in communication. Available toponomastic and anthroponomastic works using the term socio-onomastics in their description have been analyzed, as well as theoretical onomastic literature, producing several findings of differences in the usage of this term. The main topics of socio-antroponomastic literature are anthroponymy of various social groups, social aspects of name choice, social aspects of the development of naming systems, popularity of names, nicknames, hypocorisms and slang naming. The socio-toponomastic works mainly deal with the toponymy of various social groups, toponymic competence (knowledge and usage of toponyms), non-standardized toponyms, slang toponyms, social-based toponyms (commemorative toponyms), social-based renaming, and the linguistic landscape.

Antroponyma v názvech českých hraných filmů

EN
This paper is more or less an overview about anthroponyms in the names of Czech films (shot between 1898 and 2010), which will be a part of the author´s forthcoming doctoral thesis on the names of Czech films. It is not meant to be a complete description, but an introductory-illustrative overview of the topic. The outcome of the paper is that anthroponyms constitute a rich part of the names of Czech films and deserve a more detailed research (as well as the problematics of Czech film names itself).

The article presents an interesting example of interferences of the dialect and onymic corpuses of the Czech language. The anoikonym Mlčí huba used in the village of Rácov near Jihlava has its official counterpart Mučí huba used in maps. These names are irregular, impossible to decline as the front element of the collocation is taken as verbal („mouth shuts up“, „mouth tortures“). A historic map shows the inscription made in 1835 by a German typist reading MocziHuba. It leads us to the appellative and later a nickname and a surname m/Močihuba „heavy drinker“, recorded since the 15th century, but no more used in Czech dialects. Loss of awareness of original motivation after the appellative disappeared has led to deformation of the original name and to creation of a new, false motivation. The proper name Močihuba also vanished, only a rare occurrence of its descendant Močub(a) in the Czech area has been recorded. Together with the variant Moczygemba in south Poland, it shows the rests of a former larger area of this name’s occurrence.

The paper deals with representative aspects of Moravian and Silesian minor place names containing the personal name Jan (English John). In the first part, formal features of the respective anoikonyms are described, i. e. dialectal phonology and morphology. Then the author focuses on historical and local variation (including communication variants), motivation and structure of representative names. Qualitative data analysis showed the most popular motivation was a relation to local persons named Jan associated with the place ‒ property of the named object or a location near this property. Objects have rarely been named by local persons associated with the place, e. g. a forest named by his founder. Sometimes the reason for naming is not known, because there is not a record of the namegiver’s motivation. In terms of structural analysis, two-word (or multiple-word) names predominate, especially the combination of possessive adjectives derivated from the personal name Jan and originally the common name of the object (e. g. vrch ‚hill‘, důl ‚mine‘). Other structural types are less common.

The goal of the study is to present the metaphorical usage of personal names in the newspaper opinion articles contained in the Czech National Corpus. The analysis is aimed at attributive collocations with adjectival forms český/moravský/slezský (Czech, Moravian, Silesian), and pražský/brněnský/ostravský (Prague ‒ Praha, Brno, Ostrava in the adjectival forms) + personal names referring to well-known foreign people, e.g., česká Edith Piaf, moravský Edison. The research showed that the attributive constructions are more frequent in serious newspapers than in tabloids. The Czech society orientation towards the Western, Euro-American civilization is illustrated with the continents (Europe, North America) and states (the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the United States of America) to which the selected personal names refer to. The formal aspects of the names are also examined ‒ e.g., their orthography, morphology, coinages of Czech female forms of male surnames and of hypocoristic forms, as well as their usage in communication (e.g., multireference of the construction to various people).

The paper deals with personal names and their functions in the poetry collection Magorovy labutí písně (1985) written by Ivan Martin Jirous (1944–2011). According to underground poetics, Jirous uses real names. The nature of naming depends on whether the person is male (one-word and multi-word naming) or female (strictly one-word naming by first name); whether the person is close to the author (usually naming by the first name or a combination of a hypocorism and the last name) or historical figure (by the last name or a combination of the official first name and the last name). In the case of names of historical figures, the dominant function is associative, in the case of names of persons close to the author the functions are phatic (a distant contact with the named person), honorific (honouring the named persons) and magic (protection of named persons). One of the key features of Magorovy labutí písně is that names are often in rhyme position – rhyming names are a sign of virtuosity but at the same time of humorous poetry (epigram, satire).

This material contribution dealing with anthroponyms in Central Moravian region in the 15th and 16th centuries is loosely based on the author’s earlier article about medieval personal names in Moravia in the 17th and 18th centuries. Material obtained from the regional monograph is the bases for author’s personal reflection on the development of anthroponymical paradigm in Moravian countryside.

In this article I analyse nicknames and surnames denoting moral and mental features and the features of character and temper evidenced in historical Polish documents on the Polish-East Slavonic borderland. This borderland is a specific area of research because the proces of settlement, which developed over several centuries, has been characterized by its ethnic and religious plurality resulting in a cultural plurality. Taking into consideration axiology enabled to perceive the axological aspect of surnames as means of conveying moral values of human beings. The negative surnames reflecting antivalues are more frequent and they include a variety of synonyms that reveal the system of values by contrast. The important conclusion seems to be that most of the given values turn out to remain the same for centuries and throughout cultural areas.

The article focuses on the Russian personal name Ivan in comparison with Polish Jan and French Jean. Based on an analysis of secondary appellative derivatives of these names in the Russian, Polish (including Kashubian) and French (including Occitan) dialects and colloquial languages, the authors reconstruct the ethno-cultural portraits of prototypical bearers of these names in corresponding languages. The analysis shows that the Russian Ivan, whose name often serves as a symbol of „russianess“, has very few specific features as compared to his French and Polish „brothers“. This conclusion leads to the question on ethnolinguistic mechanisms of derivation from personal names which, in the perspective of the contrastive study of deonyms, seem to be relatively universal.
