Abstract:
The fundamental difference between common nouns (nomen appellativum) and proper names
(nomen proprium) has been known for thousands of years. Put simply, the former generalizes,
the latter individualizes. As a result, their place in the lexicon is different, and their lexicological
consideration has also parted ways. The study touches on how the outstanding lexicographic work
of the 19th century, the Czuczor–Fogarasi dictionary, references proper names. While the dictionary is fundamentally an explanatory dictionary, its entries often contain historical or etymological
information. Beyond reference books that do not deal directly with proper names, dictionaries
focusing on the history of other parts of speech also list several proper names, as the importance
of these in the history of both society and language is evident to researchers. Based on the above,
the study first provides an overview of the methods applied in historical dictionaries (e.g., Magyar
oklevélszótár [Dictionary of Hungarian deeds], Erdélyi magyar szótörténeti tár [Historical dictionary of Transylvanian Hungarian]) and etymological dictionaries (e.g., Magyar etymológiai szótár
[Etymological dictionary of Hungarian], A magyar nyelv történeti-etimológiai szótára [Historical
and etymological dictionary of Hungarian]). Both dictionary types are rich repositories of data for
the lexical material known as proper names.
