THE MUTUAL CHARACTER OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANTHROPONYMS AND TOPONYMS

Summary/Abstract: The Mutual Character of the Relationship Betveen Anthroponyms and Toponyms This article covers the relationship between anthroponyms and toponyms,namely the reverse situation,the connection between toponyms and anthroponyms, particularly those aspects that are at the origin of their creation and the manner in which they have become noticeable. Onomatology shows that there are names derived from toponyms, the so-called toponymic names ,as well as numerous toponyms created from people’s names, the so-called onomastic toponyms. We say that names are of toponymic origin if they connect the individual with the locality,region or country he/she comes from.There are anthroponyms that have turned into toponyms if their function has been changed,without other formal transformations, and anthroponyms that have turned into toponyms through transformations or associations of some kind.Certain toponyms fall into the first category if they derive from anthroponyms with or without the intermediation or involvemnet of the appellation plan. There are several mechanisms that enable this name-place transfer,among which are :direct conversion,the intermediation of the toponymic or appellation plan,the addition of suffixes and the association with other types of words.The types that are widely represented in the language are simple toponyms,those arising from conversion,and those which underwent an intermediate stage as the name of a group;among the compound toponyms,the best represented are those that include an anthroponym as a second word in the Genitive.
