Abstract:
ISTVÁN SZATHMÁRI, What is the confession of geographic names? //
In the two lectures, originally delivered in the programme entitled Édes anyanyelvünk [Our sweet
mother tongue] on Kossuth radio, the author discusses how geographical names can be utilized in
researching local as well as general history. The first lecture discovers the origins of place names
found in Western Hungary; the second lecture presents the names of Kisújszállás located in the
Great Hungarian Plain.
