Abstract
The article deals with the characteristics of the onomastic terms inhabitant name, katoikonym, and demonym and with their place (position) in the system of onomastic terminology. The author analyses the definition, content and character of these terms and their use, primarily in Slovak linguistics and onomastics. Different views on their content also lead to an orthographic problem. This problem concerns in particular the differentiated writing of initial letters in the names of the objects that are denoted by them. The problem of writing capital or small initial letters comes to the fore in Slovak, especially in the case of so-called living (unofficial) inhabitant names or inhabitant nicknames.
