Summary/Abstract: This contribution offers an overview of the shaping of Slovak onomastics as a scientific discipline from the 1940’s onwards when the foundations of theoretical onomastics were laid. In 1964, the Slovak onomastic commission was founded which was able to organize a series of onomastic conferences. Unfortunately, no special department for research of proper names has been established at Jazykovedný ústav Ľudovíta Štúra of the Slovak Academy of Sciences.
