The article presents the names bestowed on Polish children in Lithuania after 1990, a topic which merited little scholarly attention to date. First, by way of introduction, the specific Lithuanised written forms of these names are described and compared with their standard Polish and Lithuanian equivalents. The naming trends are then analysed on the basis of three sets of data: the top ten male and female names among Lithuanian Poles (as compared with those in Lithuania and in Poland) in the years 1991, 2000, 2010 and 2013; the names of 1284 students, all born after 1990, from fifteen Polish-language schools in Lithuania; finally, the names given in the years 1991–2011 to children in the municipality of Salčininkai (Soleczniki), where the percentage of Poles is the highest in Lithuania. Interviews with members of the Polish minority in Lithuania, focusing on naming issues, have also been used for fact-finding. The research shows that the name choices of Poles in Lithuania are becoming increasingly different from those in Poland, yet not exactly convergent with Lithuanian trends. Poles almost never use names of Lithuanian origin and prefer instead simple names, not necessarily of Polish origin, that look in writing almost the same in Polish and in Lithuanian. Especially striking among these are Germanic names, such as Edward, Ernest, Eryka, Greta, never particularly popular in Poland.

Artykuł omawia litewskie nazwy ulic przedwojennego Wilna, przedstawione w 1938 roku w przewodniku opracowanym przez J.V. Narbutasa pod kierunkiem M. Biržiški, które w takiej postaci nigdy wcześniej oficjalnie nie zaistniały. Blisko 60% z nich stanowiły urbanonimy polskie przetłumaczone na litewski, jednak prawie 40% ulic otrzymało nazwy nowe. Celem było zastąpienie polskiego krajobrazu kulturowego litewskim, choć zmiany dotknęły też wiele nazw neutralnych (np. Świerkowa, Tramwajowa). Nowe nazwyczasem tworzono na zasadzie metonimii (np. ul. Lwowska > Ukrainų ‘Ukraińska’). Często starano się znaleźćodpowiednik o zbliżonym brzmieniu (Saska Kępa > Sausas Kampas ‘Suchy Zakątek’), dbano też o ekwiwalencję upamiętnienia (np. duchowny litewski zamiast polskiego) czy zbliżoną rangę patrona.

The article discusses Lithuanian street names of interwar Vilnius as they appeared in a 1938 guidebook by J.V. Narbutas, written on the advice of M. Biržiška. In such form, they had never been in official use before. Nearly 60 per cent were translated from Polish to Lithuanian, but almost 40 per cent were new names. The aim was to replace the Polish cultural landscapewith a Lithuanian one, yet a few culturally neutral onyms (e.g. Świerkowa ‘Spruce Str.’, Tramwajowa ‘Tramway Str.’)disappeared too. Some new names were coined by metonymy (e.g. Lwowska ‘Lviv Str.’ > Ukrainų ‘Ukrainian Str.’). Oftenan attempt was made to retain phonetic similarity (Saska Kępa > Sausas Kampas ‘Dry Corner’), and to find namesakes of similar type (e.g. a Lithuanian priest instead of a Polish one) or importance.

During the Polish-Lithuanian Union (1385–1795) Polish nobles, clergy, merchants and townspeople were moved to the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This period was negatively assessed by the Lithuanian society because of “polonization” and anarchy. After the First World War, Poles found themselves in a difficult situation in Lithuania. The Lithuanians did not want to reunite with our country and repressed the Polish minority living in the vicinity of Vilnius. Poles were thrown out of flats, Polish schools were closed, and Polish symbols were destroyed. Oppression intensified during World War II, when Lithuania collaborated with the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, wanting to deport Poles from the Vilnius region. Despite the signing by Poland and Lithuania of the “Treaty on Friendly Relations and Good Neighborly Cooperation” in 1994, the situation of the Polish minority is still difficult. Lithuanians violate a number of our minority rights, such as the right to their own education (Article 15 of the Treaty), first and last name (Article 14), bilingual signs to short-circuit towns inhabited by the Polish minority (Article 13 paragraph 2 and Article 15), the right to participate in public life (Article 14), the prohibition of discrimination and assimilation (Article 15), religious rights (Article 13 (2), Article 14 and Article 15) and the right to have own memorial sites (art. 23).
