Toponyms in Bohemia Formed by the Suffix -jь from Compound Personal Names

Summary/Abstract: Toponyms formed by the suffix -jь from compound personal names belong to archaic structural types of Slavic toponymy. At the territory of historical Bohemia these names function not only as oikonyms, but also anoikonyms. The article summarises the distribution and time classification of Czech oikonyms of this type and provides a detailed analysis of anoikonyms from the collection of minor place-names from the years 1963 – 1980. It can be concluded that toponyms of this type cover almost the whole territory of historical Bohemia. On the basis of this analysis, some hypotheses concerning the early (probably incoherent) settlement of this territory can be formulated.
