Abstract:
GÁBOR MIKESY, Geographical names in public administration
The paper reviews the areas in which public administration plays or should play a role in the
formation, registration or the appropriate use of geographical names, mentioning the relevant legal
environment. Illustrative name examples taken from the registers of the central areas or the outskirts
of populated places (parts of settlements, addresses), national parks, rivers and caves show that the
linguistic-orthographic or cultural aspects of establishing geographical names, or deciding the
spelling of name forms – and because of which government regulations require the cooperation of
an expert body in the name giving process – are not applicable in all cases. The author also discusses
the spread of and dangers connect to the superficial use or abuse of geographical names in the digital
world. The author emphasizes that the appropriate and standardized use of geographical names is,
in fact, a common interest in many fields of life, and could also be effectively promoted by public
administration.
