A starting point for reflections about folk etymology in onomastics is a document concerning standardisation of toponyms for maps in the 1930s supplemented by more recent information from various articles and studies. This material helps to find specifics of the development of proper names caused by folk etymology, moreover, it shows problems that appear in the scientific onomastic etymology. The scientific analysis of the original sense of proper names uses various methods, especially comparison, to reach the most likely explanation. The possibility of application of various methods and their ballanced usage is a precondition of the right etymological interpretation. The absence of the comparative material makes the scientific etymology of proper names intuitive and it causes an approximation of their scientific and folk etymology.
