Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the spelling of proper names, business names, and app names in the Slovak language. It focuses on proper names that start with a lowercase or uppercase letter in a compound word. The motivation behind names is examined, including the ownerʼs name, generic designation, foreign words, and acronyms. Similar names are found across various companies, products, and services. Creating words in an individual way allows for the investigation of authorial invention and exploration of the word-forming potential of language. The creation of new words contributes to the expansion of vocabulary, while also observing its influence on Slovak orthography.
