Slavonic Anthroponymy in the Region of Smolyan

Miroslav Mihaylov

Abstract


The paper focuses on a peculiarity in the development of personal names in the region of Smolyan during the XX century: the substitution of part of the Arabic-Turkish personal names for anthroponyms of Slavonic roots. The author attempts to analyze the causes that incited parents to prefer personal names of Slavonic origin. A great number of historical events lead to changes in the system of personal names. Such changes occurred repeatedly during the centuries due to the assimilation aspirations of religious and state leaders that ruled this border region.

Origina title in Bulgarian: "Славянска антропонимия в Смолянско."


Keywords


Personal names of Arabic-Turkish origin; change of names; personal names of Slavonic origin; transparency of semantics as factor in the choice of personal names
