Abstract
The article tries to highlight some aspects related to the mapping of toponyms and anthroponyms, in the Romanian space and also at a larger level (European, world). In the case of the toponyms we highlighted the repartition of oikonyms with the suffixes –ești, –eni/–ani, –ari, –ovți/–evți, –inți in the Romanian space. This space includes the present territory of Romania and Republic of Moldova and the regions of Ukraine, Bulgaria and Hungary that belonged temporarily to the Romanian state. The Romanian suffixes –ești, –eni/–ani, –ari appear more frequently, the most important being the first. For the mapping of the anthroponyms we presented only the mapping of the repartition of names with the suffix –escu, at the world level, by countries. This suffix appears most frequently in Romania and/or in the Republic of Moldova.
Highlights
We intend to highlight several aspects related to the mapping of the anthroponyms and toponyms, at all scales of analysis
We mention the selection of a “unitary” administrative division, conventionally fixed, for all the analysed periods, and the fact that, we do not have access to all anthroponymic information, if before and after an interval when the documented occurrence was below the average we have information that proves the high frequency of a name, it is possible for the anthroponym to have an above-average presence during the interval in question, etc
For the Romanian space, to which we refer in particular, we will utilize—strictly conventional, for the comparability of spatial and temporal data—a map, at the communal level, that includes the present communes of Romania, Republic of Moldova, and of the territories of Hungary, Bulgaria and Ukraine, that had belonged to the Romanian state
Summary
We intend to highlight several aspects related to the mapping of the anthroponyms and toponyms, at all scales of analysis. For the inventory of toponymic information (the names of localities)—, and related to the collection of Romanian family names, at the World level, the site forebears.io. A part of these names (for example, in Romania) are an official creation of the Romanian administration (especially in Transylvania) This required the verification of the initial form of name, and, if the actual name, containing one of the analysed suffixes, had an official character, the name was not included in analysis.
