Abstract:
TERÉZ RANCZ, Motivations for name giving in Fels -Háromszék (Transylvania)
and the importance of names among identity markers //
This paper is based on the results of a 16-item questionnaire survey carried out in the small
town of Kézdivásárhely as well as in four settlements in its surroundings in the district of Fels -
Háromszék (Transylvania), a region that is predominantly inhabited by Hungarians. The author
presents the name giving practices and naming fashions of four generations: she compares the
motivational systems of naming practices in the successive generations, highlighting trends. The
author also examines the importance of such ethnic symbols as family and Christian names among
identity markers of minorities. This aspect of name giving and name use is less frequently
analysed in onomastics, though it offers useful data for sociology, sociolinguistics and contact
linguistics as well.
