Abstract

The subject of the study is the microtoponymy of Sambirskyi cyrkul in the end of ХVІІІ – in the beginning of XIX century. These are diachronic names of microobjects. These onyms are selected from Josyphinska (1785 – 1788) and Francyskanska (1819 – 1820) metrycs. These books are kept in Lviv State Historical Archive. Sambirskyi cyrkul is a historical administrative unit. It has been occupied a part of the territory of modern Lviv’s region. The object of the study is transonimisation of different classes of onyms into microtoponyms. Transonimisation is one of ways of creating new names into microtoponymy of Sambirskyi cyrkul in the end of XVIII – in the beginning of XIX century. Ukrainian linguists also use other terms for this way of creation of new onyms: transonomatisation, intraonomastic homonymy (I. I. Kovalyk), or toponymic metonymy (Yev. S. Otin), or homonymous relationships between different groups of proper names (M. M. Yurkiv). Names of geographical microobjects of this historical region had been created by transferring of anthroponyms (male and female names) and toponyms (hydronyms, microhydronyms, oykonyms, microtoponyms) into microtoponyms. Transonimisation of toponyms is the most productive type of name transfer (forest Ratoczyn ˂ river Ratoczyn; part of village or flur Hucisko ˂ oykonym Hucisko; stream Mandryczat ˂ field Mandryczat). There is a tendency to distinguishing of homonymous onyms. The peculiarity of historical microtoponymy is a significant number of cases of transonimisation between names of geographical microobjects. Key words: transonimisation, microtoponym, Sambirskyi cyrkul, Josyphinska (1785 – 1788) metryc, Francyskanska (1819 – 1820) metryc.
