The article depicts reflection over the issue of changes in the Bulgarian anthroponymy from the Bulgarian  National  Revival  period,  which  usually  consists  in  an  inconsistent,  i.e.  concerning only several  historical  figures,  substitution  of  the  Greek  form  Joan  by  the  native  form-  Ivan. Furthermore, the author does not comprehensively answer the questions how and why it happened, although they present the issue as a complex one and possible to conceptualize in myriad ways.

EN
The wise policy of stimulating the social processes in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania caused strong integration trends in area of the ethnic diversification of the population. A phe­nomenon of tolerance enabled inhabitants of Podlasie the coexistence and the symbiosis, gave a base to create the syncretic culture of the borderland. It was manifested in onomastics. On the one hand, the anthroponymy of Podlasie is reflecting the coexistence of many lan­guages and cultures, on the other - forming some identifying formulas common for all eth­nic and religious groups. The synergy and overlapping different patterns in onomastics showed results in hybrid formations and some structures, typical only for given region, what was the most reflected in an abridged names and surnames forms of Podlasie inhabitants.

This paper concerns 18th century surnames of Bielsk Podlaski inhabitants based on first names. Analysis of reference material has demonstrated that the majority of surnames of people living in Bielsk Podlaski in the 18th century was based on first names which were anthroponyms of Eastern-Slavonic origin (Antychowicz, Chilkiewicz, Dmitrowicz, Korniluk, Naucik etc.). Surnames originating from Polish first names account for a minor percentage of all analyzed anthoponyms (Maciejuk, Michalewicz, Piotrowicz, Szymonowicz, Urbanowicz). Only single examples indicate the non-Slavonic origin of the analyzed surnames of Bielsk Podlaski inhabitants (Hencmanowski, Iczewska).

This article contains an analysis of 17th-century proto-names from the area of the Daleszyce parish (Świętokrzyskie voivodship, Kielce poviat) for the presence of phonetic dialectal characteristics. The research material was excerpted from the manuscripts of four parish registers (records of birth) written in Latin. The analysis showed that the examined anthroponymic material was a storage of various phonetic characteristics throughout the 17th c. The Daleszyce historical anthroponyms recorded typically Lesser Polish features (the shift from -ch to -k in the fi nal position), Masovian features (fluctuations in the ge : g’e, ke : k’e groups; hardening of l’), Masovian and Greater Polish features (fluctuations in the -ew-/-ow- groups), and general dialectal features (Masurian influences and the presence of prosthetic consonants). The analysed material contained also various manifestations of hypercorrection with respect to dialectal forms, such as e.g. the so-called szadzenie, removal of h- and j- in the initial position heard as forms with prothesis, secondary nasalisation of e in positions other than ones arising from the phonetic assimilation to the neighbouring nasal consonants. This article might fi ll, to an extent, the gap in the anthroponymic research on the Kielce region in the 17th c.

Juliusz Machulski-one of the representatives of the Polish authors’ cinema-is a director recognized by the generations of the audience. His oeuvre is distinguished by characteristic features such as inseparable comedic traits, critical comment on reality and an artistic attitude to the Polish language spoken by his film characters. During the analysis of the linguistic layer of the movies by Machulski, it is worthwhile to signal at least the role of anthroponyms, since proper names-according to research from the circle of literary onomastics-perform equally important function in creating stylization like other linguistic endeavours. Personal -onyms in the films by Juliusz Machulski combine certain common characteristics: they may be used for co-creation of onomastic realism (then, they are a kind of costume), but they also may attest to a consequent (repeating in many films), experimental predilection of the author – for Anglicization, for constructing a network of intertextual references or for creation of pseudonyms or meaningful surnames.

The article discusses the problem of given names of Jews who lived in Bydgoszcz between 1920 and 1939. The diaspora counted at most two thousand (about 1,5% of the total population) and, apart from Poznań, it was the largest concentration of Jews in the Poznań voivodeship. The data was extracted from a list of contribution payers of the Jewish religious community from 1939. The current paper continues the research started in my previous article (Jaracz 2007) (‘Last names of Bydgoszcz Jews in the context of the Polish anthroponymic system’).

The aim of this article is to find an equine motivation for several personal names attested in the territory of the Roman Lusitania. New or better Indo-European reconstructions (e.g. *melyos and *ku-melyos ‘horse; stallion’; IE. *k∂nkilos and *k∂nkanos ‘horse’, as well as the root *k∂nk-) in reference to the animal terminology are suggested. The distribution of the reflexes of IE. *ekwos ‘horse’ and *k∂nkilos / *k∂nkanos ‘id.’ in the area of the Hispanic Peninsula is carefully explained. Finally it is concluded that the horse and bull were the most esteemed animals in the culture of the ancient Lusitanians.

This paper concerns the interpretation problems accompanying the contemporary surnames with the formative -yk/-czyk (on the example of the Białystok region). Its aim is to present various manners of explaining the origin of anthroponyms with this suffix. As the analysis has shown, the complexity of the problems involved in determining the etymology of the discussed surnames is manifested mainly (Dziemiańczyk, Tomczyk), appellative surnames (Gołowaczyk, Kulawczyk), surnames coined based on expressions indicating a profession or function (Atamańczyk, Tokarczyk), and ones coined based on place names (Majdańczyk, Nurczyk).

The aim of the present paper is the analysis of old nicknames which relate to the way in which our ancestors communicated. The subject of the analysis are proprial items, which were formed in order to indicate if the speakers were telling the truth, or whether they were gossiping, or saying too much, as well as items which evaluated a person because of articulatory features. The present paper is also an attempt to propose research into axiologically marked appelative anthroponyms within the methodology of cultural linguistics, complemented with biological contexts, especially research from the field of evolutionary psychology and biological anthropology.

The article presents the semantic analysis of students’ nicknames. The onomastic material has been taken from a sample survey conducted in one of secondary school in Kalisz at a school year 2013/2014. The material basis consists of 269 personal names. The anthroponyms formed on common names are analysed in detail in the article. The main aim of the study is to observe the connections between the nicknames and the common names which motivate them. The semantic analysis and the statistical analysis of school nicknames allow to notice and reconstruct the mechanisms which affect nicknames formation as well as to observe the connections between the name and the designatum.

The proposed paper presents the functioning of German-origin names with their root and etymology of German origin borne by Poznań burghers in the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries. The source material for the study was provided by archival registers of the taxpayer of the tax on production and sale of alcoholic beverages. The work has attempted to determine the motivation behind the names and to track down their development, while the applied research method involves the motivational analysis that results in a pool of particular types of surnames that includes surnames motivated by German proper names and German appellatives. The set of all foreign surnames of the population of Poznań, amounting to nearly 20% of all onomastic material attested in the available archival documents, includes far more German surnames or surnames of German origin than any other surnames. In time, the given names of German people were Polonized both in the phonetic and the morphological plane. A small part of them was incorporated into the Polish language in their original form. In the material under scrutiny the Polonized forms were in preponderance as compared to purely German names. Language adaptation was also responsible for the formation of surnames of women – hybrid feminine forms from German names with Polish feminine suffixes appended onto foreign names. On numerous occasions it was impossible to unequivocally establish the German etymology of some of the surnames, which forced a conclusion leading to a proposition of a multi-motivational character of Poznań anthroponyms that, beside the motivation by a Polish anthroponym or appellative, also referred to German anthroponyms and appellatives. The bulk of surnames of German origin have remained vital and have been testified in the resources of present-day Polish anthroponyms.

The paper is an attempt to decipher the name of the brother of Mieszko I and place name where battle with german duke Hodon took place in 972, mentioned in Thietmar of Merseburg’s chronicle. They are only known from a single MLat. inscription as Cidebur, and from its Latinized form as Cidini . In an author’s view they should be delatinized as Siecebor and Sitno (Sitna). Based on a substition and transcription analysis, the author formulates a hypothesis concerning the location and progress of the battle.

The 16th century additional appellation (OD) of gentry in starosty district of Grabowiec have been analyzed in the article. The source database used in the article contains the municipal books of Grabowiec from 16th century. On the base of analyzed material it can be concluded that gentry antroponyms with suffix -ski have two-piece form (name and surname). Analytical forms applied in gentry naming are addition which had a task to differentiate individual units of expanding gentry families. In the presented material prepositional phrases appear next to synthetic terms.

The body of this article is constituted by a content analysis of some messages posted on the chosen Polish Internet forums, messages devoted to the topic of the motivation and evaluation of first names. The posts concerning the stereotypical evaluation of some names claim that the naming of the child determines, to some extent, his/her future fate and personality. On the one hand, the tendencies to choose original, distinctive names for children and thus to ensure them extraordinary lives, are clearly visible. On the other hand, naming children according to the patterns that can be traced in the family or simply giving those old-fashioned names proves that the strength of tradition and family customs are still held in high esteem. This article contains a number of posted messages which prove the existence of the above-mentioned tendencies. An Internet forum can be interpreted as an area of „shared knowledge” which is formed by the forum users and therefore is credible, authentic and spontaneous. It can also be an important context for scholars concerned with proper names who seek authentic statements about the evaluation and motivation of the act of naming.

The article presents the procedure of altering Polish last names as it is pictured in examples of anthroponyms taken from the historical novel The Knights of the Cross written by Henryk Sienkiewicz. Characteristics of onomastics, as the one of many fields of the linguistic studies and the literary onomastics, which is a part of it, preludes the analysis performed in this paper. The emphasis has been put on one of the areas of this study – anthroponymy. According to this discipline, it was possible to investigate Polish surnames and depict the history of their advancement and modifications throughout centuries, basing on the mentioned novel. Author used the literary realism in the historical novel – genre recognizable for positivism and genuinely showed the process of transformations and modifications in Polish names, which was held within social groups like nobility, the middle class, peasantry and clergy. This thesis shows how did the author assort each personal name and directs to sources, that could have inspired him to create his characters and name them accordingly to the proper period and particular social group.

My paper is focused on naming in one stem of my family during the 19th century. The Vosika family lived in parish Číhošť in Bohemia. I have tried to analyse names of children in this family and in the whole parish in 1785–1885. We can observe that the most important factor of the choice of the first name was its popularity. Names of parents or godparents had less influence (with the exception of the last generation). Also dates (and festivals of saints) were not important when naming members of the Vosika family.

The article relates to male names of the subjects in the grounds of the Camaldolese monks from the Lake Wigry area.. The names originate from the manuscript called Inwentarz Ogólny Dóbr Funduszowych Klasztoru Wygerskiego Xięży Kamaldulow przed Generalną Komissyą J.K.Mśi y Rzeczpospolitej sporządzony. Roku 1745. The subjects of the Camaldolese monastery had primarily Christian names. Among Slavic names it is possible to mention only the most popular ones that refer to Roman Catholic Church Saints such as: Stanisław and Wojciech, and names (1971 M. Malec. Budowa morfologiczna staropolskich złożonych imion osobowych Stanisława Zbijowska,Janina Zbinowska, Wrocław.) given in royal families: Kazmierz and Bolesław. However, there is an exception of a Slavic name written in a shortened form Chwaluk, derived by the suffix –uk from the names of the type of Chwalisław. There are 69 male names mentioned in the document. The most popular ones are: Jan, Andrzej, Michał, Maciej, Szymon/Siemion, Chwiodor, Jakub,Paweł, Stefan, Marcin, Bazyli / Wasyl, Grzegorz / Hryhor, Franciszek, Józef, Aleksiej/Oleksiej,Mateusz and Wojciech.

The article presents the methods of germanisation of Polish names in the south of Warmia in the 17th and 18th centuries. The author analyses the names that show adaptations on phonetical, graphical and morphological levels. An analysis of the names whose form could be the effect of loan translation was not carried out. One of the conclusions goes that the pronouncing of the Polish palatal and historically palatal consonants was the most difficult. According to the article, it is also problematic to show rules of differentiating between i and y. Word-formation aspects of the analyses show that feminine forms of the names were often created by adding the German formant –in while the suffixes -son, -ert, -en, -ke, -au were used less frequently.

Selected assumptions of cognitive methodology were used in various works for anthroponymy analysis. This methodology, which is a research perspective, does not constitute a coherent theory. In order to determine the importance of onyms, the basic theses of the aforementioned methodology, i.e. the thesis of embodied cognition, the thesis of constructing meaning as conceptualization and the thesis of symbolization were applied. Determining the importance of anthroponyms was the basis for this deep analysis with the use of cognitive concepts such as: a symbolic unit or symbolic expression, habituation, a metaphor, and conceptual metonymy, schematization, a conceptual category, a standard version of the category concept, prototype or family similarity theory. This methodological approach allowed the author to study homonymy and anthroponymic polysemy. Cognitivism is a methodology that allows for a more in depth research in the field of onomastics, which has been demonstrated on the basis of anthroponymic analysis.

Celem pracy jest przedstawienie kognitywizmu jako metody interpretacji antroponimów. Wybrane założenia metodologii kognitywnej stosowane były w różnych pracach do analizy antroponimów. Metodologia ta, będąca perspektywą badawczą, nie stanowi spójnej teorii. W celu ustalenia znaczenia onimów zastosowano podstawowe założenia wspomnianej metodologii, tj. tezy o ucieleśnionym poznaniu, o konstruowaniu znaczenia jako konceptualizacji i o symbolizacji. Określenie znaczenia antroponimów było podstawą do ich pogłębionej analizy z zastosowaniem takich pojęć kognitywnych, jak: jednostka symboliczna czy wyrażenie symboliczne, habituacja, metafora i metonimia pojęciowa, schematyzacja, kategoria pojęciowa, wersja standardowa koncepcji kategorii, prototyp czy teoria podobieństwa rodzinnego. Takie podejście metodologiczne pozwoliło m.in. na zbadanie homonimii i polisemii antroponimicznej. Kognitywizm jest metodologią pozwalającą na pogłębienie badań z zakresu onomastyki, co zostało wykazane na podstawie analizy antroponimów.
