Současný stav a lidová etymologie pomístních jmen na Židlochovicku
The Current State and Folk Etymology of Anoikonyms in the Židlochovice Region

Summary/Abstract: This essay summarises my thesis of the same name (Faculty of Education, Masaryk Univer-sity, Brno 2015, 122 p.). The diploma work analyses contemporary repertoire of anoiko-nyms in the Židlochovice region, including their popular etymologies. The studied material was obtained by field research. The collected anoikonyms were sorted according to indivi-dual cadastral areas, number of words and actual named object. The findings were gene-ralised in the model and structural analyses. It was found out that the familiarity and use of anoikonyms is decreasing, especially among the younger generation. The collected names mostly reflect the character of the terrain of the examined area and in many cases are influenced by German. The thesis is available at the internet address: <http://is.muni.cz/ th/371974/pedf_m/>.
