Ostthüringisch Magdala und Ma(g)del, aber Maina und Moinwinida? Kritische Betrachtungen zu einigen geographischen Namen und ihrer Geschichte
Full text linkEast-Thuringian Magdala and Ma(g)del, but Maina and Moinwinida? Critical reflections on some geographical names and their history. ‒ The linguistic origin of the hydronym Magdel in connection with the toponyms Magdala and Madelungen is analyzed in this article, based on the historical forms from the 9th century. Various spellings from the Middle Ages will be discussed here. Special focus is also put on the question whether the name Maina can be connected with the only historical form Moinwinida. With the help of other geographical names in an important historical documentation there can be given a final answer as well as a proposal for identification of some up till now only once documented historical names in Thuringia. The resulting conclusions about those names with the element –winida are relevant for the complete Central German region around the year 1000
Seltene germanische Personennamen im Frühmittelalter
Full text linkRare personal names in the Early Middle Ages. – Numerous Germanic personal names can only be evidenced a few times, some of them no more than once. The historical and geographic frames of reference for their respective classification as ‘rare’ are mainly the known inventory of Germanic names from the 4th until approximately the end of the 8th century within the Frankish territories east of the Rhine river as well as Gallo- and Italoromania. Obviously, there are various reasons for classifying a personal name as rare. The form of its tradition – perhaps accidentally and with great regional differences – certainly plays a role; but there is also a variety of linguistic and onomastic phenomena that could have greatly influenced the frequency of Germanic anthroponyms. They are criteria of both selection and limitation as well as new creativity. This article focuses on important features and mechanisms of name-giving, particularly regarding their potential for enabling names to remain rare
Der Slawengau Besunzane im Licht der Ortsnamen
Full text linkThe Slavic district Besunzane in the light of toponymy. – With the help of Slavic place-names Hans Walther was first in localizing the tribal region of the Besunzane in the area of the Neiße river between Görlitz and Ostritz. Based on this research the present article presents the previous findings with the aid of typology and stratigraphy of place-names more precisely. The quality values of the soil are thereby also taken into consideration. On the accompanying map with older and more recent Slavic place-names the region of Besunzane appears as a ca. 8 kilometer wide strip along the Neiße river, almost throughout on land with soil quality values lying over 50 points. In the west it is sharply separated by a broad unpopulated zone from the tribal region of the Milzane. By evidence of place-names, the strips of land to the east of Besunzane were sparsely populated, if at all, likewise in the south. To the north of Görlitz there are solely more recent types of place-names
Berufe und Namen
Full text linkOccupations and names. – General considerations on the relation between occupations and names (with reference to the corresponding conference in October 2016). The aspects syntactical names, occupation and geographical origin, occupational designation as personal name, person with two occupational designations, indirect occupational designations, occupational names in place names are briefly discussed. Appendixes deal with (1) the tax list of the year 1365 in Mons (Belgium), (2) Italian surnames based on ferrum and faber and (3) the House books of the Nuremberg 12 Brothers Foundation

Wo waren die Langobarden in den italienischen Urkunden? Identität, Verwandtschaft und Namengebung
Full text linkWhere are the Lombards in the Italian Charters? Identity, Kinship and Name-giving. — Questions of identity, kinship and name-giving arise in the Italian charters of the early Middle Ages. Beginning in the 1990’s, the group “Nomen et Gens” has intensively engaged in the question of a relationship between ethnic identity and the choice of a personal name in Late Antiquity and in the Middle Ages. Owing to their nature the Italian private charters are a great source for a micro-history of personal names. Even if it is not always possible to determine that personal names are a marker of ethnic identity, the charters show that their historical significance is not only based on their ethnic relevance. The Lombard and Latin names give evidence to other forms of identity. The original private charters were entrenched in the place where they originated and they are therefore a source into inquiry of local identities. For instance, local features in personal names emerge in the comparison of the name of a bishop of Luni, Teudilascius (*theudho- + *laika-z), which is typical in Tuscanian charters, and the name Teudelais from Piacenza in the North of Italy. The Italian charters are “family charters” and this allows us to draw conclusions about name-giving. On the basis of the genealogy of Bishop Peredeo of Lucca this contribution analyses also the use of traditional forms of name-giving (allitteration, repitition, variation) showing that such rules are applied not only to Lombard names but also to Latin-Christian names. Moreover, the semantics of Peredeo’s genealogy lead back to the vocation of his family. It is the vocation of a Lombard family to ecclesiastic power
