Aspects of the Formation of Toponyms from the Neamţ River Basin
Aspects of the Formation of Toponyms from the Neamţ River Basin

Summary/Abstract: The toponyms gathered through field surveys conducted in Neamţ river basin or collected from different documents published or existing in archives are analyzed starting from their formation process. Hereby, there are examples of descriptive toponyms (formed from appellations) or personal (formed from anthroponyms). Both the minor toponyms and the major ones in the surveyed area are simple or derived, collocations or periphrases. The majority of the place names were formed within Romanian language, with only few being of Slavic origin. In the last part of the study some linguistic aspects particular for the analyzed area are presented.
