In the article the author presents evidence of the existence of the salt road in the region of the Tiszaside in the Great Moravian and the post-Great Moravian period. The evidence is based on his study of the names of settlements found in the early medieval historical documents. Among historically recorded settlement names, the most important are the names derived from the common noun soľ ‚salt‘. It includes the following names: Soľári (in Hungarian Szalard) meaning ‚workers in a salt storehouse or a guard of the storehouse‘. Further up the north there is Solišče (Zolasche 1217) derived from solišče meaning ‚location with occurrence of salt‘, i. e. ‚salt in salty water‘. Finally, on the banks of the Upper Tissza river there is a settlement named Soľka, historically documented as Kywzalka, Belzalka (1325) meaning ‚deposit of rock salt‘ (kı) or ‚beneath the earth surface‘ (bel). Also the name Soľník (Zolnuk 1374, at present a village Soľnička, derived from the common noun soľník meaning ‚place for storing salt‘, located near Tisza) belongs to this system of names.
