Az Aranyos-vidéki román helynevek eredetéről
About the Origins of Romanian Toponyms from the Aranyos Region

Summary/Abstract: In this study I analyse the synchronic and diachronic Romanian place-names of two villages from the Aranyos region (Mészkő/Cheia) and (Mezőcsán/Ceanu Mare) from the viewpoint of their origins. I establish such categories as real Romanian names, translations from Hungarian, adoptions from Hungarian and, eventually, products of parallel nomenclature. I make an attempt at outlining the similarities and differences of the toponyms’ collection, regarding the two settlements, which have their root in particular historical-demographic conditions.
