Summary/Abstract: Onomastics and lexicology are in a relationship of interdependence, complementing each other.The romanian lexicon is characterized by a permanent passage of some words that migrate in onomastics, forming their own proper names.Words transferred to onomastics do not leave the lexical list, continuing to function both lexically and onomastically. There are differences between the lexical and the onomastic form that we will analyze in the content of the paper. Proper names are fixed in the vocabulary, creating a new word (simple, derived or compound). Through this characteristic, the vocabulary of the Romanian language receives new meanings and words, and the onomastics by bringing in the language some unique procedures of word formation determines the enrichment of the vocabulary. The main purpose for the study is that to offer a new interpretation of the relationship between lexicology and onomastics in connection with the grammar, semantics and stylistics of the Romanian language. Another objective of the research was to observe in detail the procedures underlying the organization of vocabulary, the structure and composition of the Romanian lexicon, as well as the differences or similarities between vocabulary elements and proper nouns.The selection of the working material was made according to certain criteria such as:chronological criterion, thematic criterion and geographical criterion. In conclusion, my research offers many perspective to identify what kind of relationship is established between lexicology and onomastics for the linguists.
