Domnitori români în toponimia actuală din Oltenia şi Muntenia
Romanian Rulers in Contemporary Toponymy of Oltenia and Muntenia

Summary/Abstract: The “image” of contemporary toponymy is the outcome of a complex evolution, implying facts of history and language that belong to vertically superposed layers, corresponding to the ages that have succeeded in the development of Romanian society, as well as within such ages, i.e. horizontally, referring to lexico-structural developments and changes imposed by the necessity to reflect the situation of geographical objects existing on site as accurately as possible, at a denominative and, implicitly, orientative level. The hereby article aims at presenting a certain class of names, i.e. the names of rulers; the class has been established vertically, but horizontally imposed by particular facts (in micro-toponymy) or by the insertion of authorities at various times in the determination of local nomenclature (in macro-toponymy).
