The aim of the paper is to present the problem of transmitting cultural-determined personal names in literatury translation. The study focuses on various groups of such lexems: personal names, which were created onthe base of the model: name + patronimicum + surname; diminutive names; meaning names; folkand historical names and personal names of intertextual relationships. The emphasis is put on imagination of the translator and creative individual approach to each lexical element and its function in the text. The very important thing is the perspective of recipients with a different cultural background.

The given names used by the Lithuanian minority in PolandThis article analyses the given names of members of the Lithuanian minority in Poland. It is based on a Lithuanian telephone directory issued in Puńsk in 1997, in which a significant number of personal names are recorded in the Lithuanian form. Their comparison with the corresponding data in two Polish telephone directories from a similar period revealed over two hundred “given name + surname” pairs in two language versions: Lithuanian and Polish. About eighty pairs in which the names differed in spelling and morphology have been extracted for analysis.In the analysis of given names, also Kazimierz Rymut’s name dictionary (1995) has been used to establish the frequency of selected names in the Suwalki region and beyond. The statistically significant higher turnout of names of Lithuanian origin in the Suwalki region than in the rest of Poland was confirmed in almost all cases. It was also established that the occurrence of Lithuanian given names in unassimilated form is more frequent there. The frequency of the given names which appear in the aforementioned Lithuanian telephone directory and on the lists of high school graduates in Puńsk from 1959–1995 was compared to the ranking lists of given names used in Poland and Lithuania. This enabled some observations concerning the choice of names by Polish Lithuanians.It appears that Lithuanian anthroponymy plays an important role in consolidating the Lithuanian minority in Poland, and that it can be viewed in terms of an in-group code. At the same time, the parallel use of two language versions of given names – Polish and Lithuanian – allows for the selection of the form depending on the communicative situation. Imiona mniejszości litewskiej w Polsce W artykule podjęto próbę analizy imion członków mniejszości litewskiej w Polsce. Bazą materiałową pracy jest wydana w 1997 roku w Puńsku litewska książka telefoniczna, w której antroponimy znacznej części abonentów zapisane zostały w postaci litewskiej. Porównując je z odpowiadającymi im danymi w dwóch polskich książkach telefonicznych ze zbliżonego okresu, uzyskano ponad dwieście par imię + nazwisko w dwóch wersjach językowych: litewskiej i polskiej, z których wyekscerpowano ok. 80 par imion różniących się grafią i morfologią.W analizie imion posłużono się też słownikiem imion K. Rymuta (1995), badając frekwencję wybranych imion na Suwalszczyźnie i poza nią. Potwierdzono istotną statystycznie wyższą frekwencję na Suwalszczyźnie prawie wszystkich imion pochodzenia litewskiego, a także częstsze występowanie tam imion litewskich w postaci niezasymilowanej do polszczyzny. Wykorzystując wspomnianą litewską książkę telefoniczną, spisy absolwentów liceum w Puńsku z lat 1959–1995 i listy rangowe frekwencji imion w Polsce i na Litwie, porównano też wybory imiennicze Litwinów mieszkających w Polsce, odnotowując podobieństwa do listy litewskiej.Jak stwierdzono, antroponimia litewska pełni istotną rolę konsolidującą mniejszość litewską w Polsce i stanowi swego rodzaju kod dla wtajemniczonych. Jednocześnie równoległe funkcjonowanie dwóch postaci językowych imienia – polskiej i litewskiej – pozwala na wybór postaci antroponimu zależnie od sytuacji komunikacyjnej.

The subject of the analysis presented in the article were personal names and toponyms derived from 42 stories by Roger Hargreaves addressed to children aged 4–6. The description of proper names in the British writer’s works is based on the assumption that the translator fully understood and faithfully reflected the author’s intentions, taking into account the functionality of the cycle of stories and the age of the recipient, and that his goal was to faithfully translate the senses contained in the semantics/sound of the created onyms. The study aimed to capture the mechanisms of creating proper names and the ways of introducing onyms into the text. The article also describes an onymic strategy consisting of a syntactic and semantic juxtaposition of anthroponyms with toponyms which serves to complete the characterisation of the heroes and the construction of the literary world. The names extracted from Hargreaves’s works were considered in terms of their textual and semiotic structures, in both the motivational and pragmatic dimensions. A semantic pragmatic analysis of the names showed that the onyms invented by the author/translator were created as series. Within the creative models used by him, the following stand out due to their frequency: names derived using suffixes, names created with the use of an appellative used specifically for naming people – pan [mister], formations composed with the lexeme mały [small] and items created by means of onymisation.

The article shows that the language taboo on pronouncing personal names, which is usually described as a phenomenon typical of archaic cultures, is also characteristic of the modern Russian language, where names of older relatives usually are replaced by words dad, mother, grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt. In the XVIII and XIX centuries in Russia there was a taboo on the use of names, patronymics and surnames of persons senior in civil or military rank. At present, it is preserved in the military sphere of communication, where it is forbidden to address by name or surname to senior in rank. The taboo phenomenon can also be an explanation of etiquette designation the respected interlocutor by Russian pronoun vy (ʻyouʼ pl.) instead of ty (ʻyouʼ sg.).

This article is an attempt to explore how the framework of construction morphology may apply to the analysis of Yoruba names. Following this approach, we show that each Yoruba name is a unique construction involving semantic, syntactic and phonological properties. Hence, this discussion highlights that names constitute a form-meaning pair. Yoruba names may be grouped into categories as distinct constructions with unique SEM, SYN and PHON properties. More specifically, it is observed that PHON properties may include word initial vowel elision, syllable elision, vowel and consonant elongation while SYN features include processes of lexicalization of sentential forms. Furthermore, the article reveals that Yoruba names may show constructional patterns that are deviant from regular processes, observed by previous studies to occur in similar linguistic environments. These patterns, therefore, are part of the unique constructional property of Yoruba personal names in contradistinction to other word formation contexts.

In the Middle Ages, several name-formation processes played a role in the creation of the anthroponyms in Hungarian. The main name-formation mechanisms were:1. Semantic name-formation. Within this mechanism, the anthroponym develops through the use of internal elements of the language in such a way that the anthroponymic meaning is created without any change in morphological structure. In Old Hungarian naming practices, the most frequent types of semantic name-formation were:a. metaphoric name-giving (e.g. farkas ʽfarkas’ [wolf] > anthroponym Farkas),b. metonymic name-giving (e.g. when an “instrument” of a profession becomes the name of the person practising the given profession; ökör ʽökör’ [ox] > anthroponym Ökör as the name of a butcher),c. semantic split: e.g. ethnonyms, names of professions, etc., often become anthroponyms without the use of any morphological tool (kovács ʽkovács’ [smith] > anthroponym Kovács).2. Morphematic construction. In the Old Hungarian period, several suffixes contributed to the creation of anthroponyms, among which the most common ones were: -d(i) ~ -t(i), -s, -a/-e etc. This morphological solution was the most important tool for adapting foreign names in the Middle Ages: Petrus in Latin > Petr-i, Pet-e, Pet-i, Pet-es in Hungarian. 3. Syntagmatic construction. This process, through the combination of two existing lexemes, cre-ates an anthroponym composed of two constituents, in which both elements provide a certain information about the named person.In this essay I provide an overview of the typical name-formation processes characterising the for-mation of anthroponyms in Old Hungarian.

The aim of this article is to analyse common nouns denoting people, animals and objects that occur in the Western Polissian dialects of the Ukrainian language and which are identical with personal names (first names) and/or their variations. It was found that some of these appellatives originate from the names of specific persons, gaining general popular use as such through certain (usually negative) character traits of that person. Other very popular and widely used names are given to beloved animals, while a less significant number of appellatives evolved through the process of folk etymology, when words of foreign origin were similar to real personal names.

The article is based on the author’s thesis that was defended at the Faculty of Education of Masaryk University in Brno in 2013. The aim of the work was to analyze personal names from chosen textbooks of mathematics and compare them with popular names in years when the textbooks were published. At first the article presents goals of the work and written sources. Then the author analyzes personal names in selected schoolbooks which were published by publishing houses Fortuna and Prometheus, putting emphasis on the frequency of names, origin of names and hypocorictics. Finally, the author tries to understand why authors of textbooks have used those names. Then she compares the results with popular personal names.

The aim of the paper is a characteristics of the individual functional elements of the living personal names in the class of unmarried persons in Súš, a part of the town of Stará Turá and of analysis of living names according to the naming models. The high frequency of functional elements a first name, surname and family, 96.1% of which are family names with an anthropobase surname, reveals that the living name system in the class of unmarried persons is significantly dependent on the official naming system. However, they do not prevail over names that are identical to official names. The most frequent model is composed of functional elements of a hypocoristic form of first name and an official surname whose anthropobase is identical to an anthropobase of the family name and the name of the house. The second most common model consists of the hypocoristic form of a first name and a family name with an anthropobase of the surname.

Changes of the Czech Personal Names System after 1989 (Illustrated with Celebrity Baby Names) The purpose of the article is to describe a particular group of Czech personal names, the celebrity baby names. Celebrity baby names represent a specific group formed in the background of new tendencies appearing in Czech anthroponymy after 1989. Even though the peculiar trends as double names, e.g. Jan Boleslav, Justina- Anna, and unique names, e.g. Amon Re, Haštal, Mia Rosa, are appearing in the group of personal names under consideration, the most of them are coined consistent with the main tendencies of Czech anthroponymy.

The paper deals with anoikonyms derived from personal names by a suffix (the structure types Bartoš + -ka, Bartoš + -ovka, Bartoš + -ovec, Bartoš + -ovice etc.). The first part of the paper presents their onomastic characteristics: it pays attention to their word-forming structure, motivation, frequency, eventually productivity of certain structure types; also information on their geographic distribution is added. Selectively also those anoikonyms are presented which are hard to explain. The second part compares the onymic maps (maps of some structure types) with dialect maps (especially the maps of the so called bundles of isoglosses contained in the Czech Linguistic Atlas). Mutual interconnections of the onymic and dialect areas are explored.

This paper discusses the phonological processes embedded in some nativised Arabic personal names in Atebubu, in the Bono East Region of Ghana. The study shows that the main phonological processes entrenched in the nativisation process include segment deletion, vowel insertion, prothesis, substitution, consonant deletion, hypocorism, and free variation. These phonological processes are employed as a mitigation strategy to conform to the phonotactics of Akan. Moreover, the study shows that the Bono speakers usually substitute the consonants [ʃ, z, q, d͡ʑ] with [ɕ, s, k, d͡ʒ], respectively. Data for the study was gathered from both primary and secondary sources.

In the individual entries of his typewritten "Dictionary of Old Czech personal names", J. Svoboda registers also place names, from which the individual personal names are formed. He reconstructs a considerable number of Old Czech personal names from place names. Place names are gained from A. Profous’s work "Place names in Bohemia" and some other works. He often provides an interpretation different from Profous’s opinion or Šmilauer’s interpretation included in the "System of Czech place names", worked out on the basis of the Profous’s work. Svoboda’s dictionary adduces also some place names and some place name records not at all included in the Profous’s work. It will be therefore necessary to present the different interpretations and add the missing place names and place name records in a future new edition of Profous’s "Place names in Bohemia", the need of which was pointed out by V. Šmilauer as early as in 1975.

Tento článek zkoumá aspekty neoficiálních osobních jmen ve třech různých jazycích (kazaštině, ruštině a němčině): strukturu, sémantiku, motivaci a kulturní a národní identitu. Vzhledem k tomu, že kazaština, ruština i němčina náleží k odlišným strukturním systémům, jejich neformální osobní jména se liší svou strukturou a slovotvorbou, sémantickými modely a národními zvláštnostmi motivace. Struktura neformálních osobních jmen zahrnuje tzv. „kvalitativní jména“ (hypokoristika, deminutiva, augmentativa, pejorativa) a přezdívky (meliorativní, andronymické, kolektivní, výsměšné, školní, hanlivé). Nejproduktivnějším způsobem tvoření emočně expresivních forem osobních jmen ve zkoumaných jazycích se ukázal být způsob morfologický (afixace).

The paper deals with the regulation of personal names in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Based on data consisting of legal documents and on-line discussions, it focuses on two areas: (1) the historical development of the regulation and (2) its implementation. Employing the social force field model, the paper argues that despite partially independent development, the legal norms of both countries establish analogous social force fields. However, these fields may function in differing ways, as the norm authorities employ different types of codices.

The article explores the thematization of proper names (anthroponyms, chrematonyms and toponyms, includings street names) in Czech travelogues describing Soviet Russia (and later the Soviet Union). The material for the study comprised 40 travelogues published in book form and relating to the period 1917–1956. The aim of the article is to demonstrate how proper names function in this type of travelogue as a means of reflecting and promoting Soviet society, its values and ideology. The article also explores how proper names – particularly name changes in response to historical developments – were presented and commented on by the authors of pre- and post- World War II travelogues. Predominantly up to 1945, naming practices under the Bolshevik regime (name changes, new personal and geographical names, the practice of giving ‘revolutionary’ names to children) were viewed as part of the creation of a new Soviet reality and a new society, and the authors emphasized the ideological value and propaganda function of proper names.

Text se zabývá tematizací vlastních jmen (antroponym, chrématonym, toponym včetně uličních názvů) v českých cestopisech ze sovětského Ruska, později Sovětského svazu. Materiálem studie bylo 40 knižně vydaných cestopisů pojednávajících o období 1917–1956. Cílem studie je představit propria z daného typu cestopisů jako prostředek propagace sovětské společnosti, jejích hodnot a ideologie. Studie si rovněž všímá způsobu, jakým byla vlastní jména autory meziválečných a poválečných cestopisů prezentována a komentována. Důraz je přitom kladen na problematiku přejmenování v závislosti na historických proměnách. V období před rokem 1945 byly pojmenovací praktiky (přejmenování, nová osobní a zeměpisná jména, křty revolučními jmény) provázející bolševický režim vnímány jako součást vytváření nové sovětské reality a společnosti a byla zdůrazňována ideologická hodnota a agitační funkce proprií. Tyto procesy byly levicovými autory přijímány s nadšením jako projev pokroku a revolučních změn, ostatními pouze stroze konstatovány, či dokonce kritizovány. Po roce 1945 se v přístupu k novým pojmenováním s kritikou již nesetkáváme, a to především vlivem důsledného uplatňování jednotného striktně ideologického pohledu na sovětskou realitu a její zobrazení. Výjimkou je pouze hodnocení revolučních osobních jmen jako přežitých.

The article explores the onomastic practices of medieval Bulgarians, focusing on the Second Bulgarian State, from the late 12th to the early 15th century. The collected evidence suggests that soon after their conversion to Christianity, Bulgarians abandoned the attested pre-Christian clan names. Yet, despite the undeniable strength of Byzantine cultural influence, neither aristocrats nor commoners in Bulgaria seem to have adopted Byzantine-type family names, nor, for that matter, making recourse to the use of patronymics as found among the Eastern and other Southern Slavs. Thus, for example, the name Asen became a true family name only among members of the royal family living in Byzantium. More generally, the few cases of family names or patronymics apparently applied to medieval Bulgarians, seem to be restricted to a foreign context. While family names and patronymics do not seem to have been employed in Christian Medieval Bulgaria, many individuals (at least where males are concerned) appear to have sported double names, composed almost invariably of a baptismal Christian name paired with a folk name usually derived from Slavic or even Bulgar tradition. This practice included Bulgaria’s monarchs, most of whom had such double names that should not be misinterpreted as family names or patronyms, as often done in the past. Specific names did, however, function as indicators for belonging within a particular lineage, as witnessed by the propagation of names like Asen, Terter, Šišman, and Sracimir. Thus, while these cannot be considered true family names, we could continue to use them as expedients to designate the ruling clans of Medieval Bulgaria (e.g., the House of Terter), albeit recognizing this to be a modern label. These considerations not only elucidate another aspect of cultural practice in Medieval Bulgaria, but also allow and necessitate a relatively inobtrusive emendation and systematization of the historiographical nomenclature of Medieval Bulgarian monarchs. Discarding the notion of family names and recognizing foreign patronymics for what they are, it becomes possible to recover the actual results of dynastic name selection, as well as the rationale behind them.

This study deals the use of personal names among Slovakia Hungarians. The bilingual environment of Slovakia Hungarians affects their use of personal names. Bilingual persons can choose names from a larger set of names. Choosing a variant of a personal name from one language or the other can depend on several factors: the communicative domain, the communication partners, the social or linguistic context etc. The dimensions of time, space and society play an important role in the change anddiversity of personal names. A Hungarian dominant use of names characterizes Slovakia Hungarians in the informal domains, and Slovak dominant use in the formal domains. A dual use of names or bi-naming can characterize a dual identity, however, most people employ this as a pre-emptive strategy trying to avoid a possible language or communication problem by using the form conforming with the majority norm in a majority language context and the form conforming with the minority norm in a minority language or informal context. Personal names have an identity marking function, and can indicate the language affiliation and nationality of their bearer.
