On the contemporary tasks of semantic-motivational reconstruction of folk toponymy
A new article in the Vorposy yazykoznaniya (Questions of Linguistics), Nr. 1, 2014, pp. 100-120
written by Prof. Elena Berezovich
Abstract in English:
The article comments on the urgent tasks of semantic-motivational reconstruction of folk toponymy. The research is based on the Russian materials extracted mainly from unpublished field card indexes of toponymic expedition of the Ural University in the territories of the Russian North, the Upper Volga region, the Middle Urals. The features of semantic reconstruction of familiar words (especially multiple-meaning) are viewed relying on toponymy; the study of toponymic pragmatics and situations of interaction between realia and nominator is discussed; the issues of interpretation of specific toponymic models that are not supported by common nouns are addressed; the need for new ways to conceptualize mutual transitions in the areas of proper and apellative names is argued. Attention is given to the auxiliary methods helping to implement semantic reconstruction of place names, to linguostatistical analysis in particular.

HALOGEN - History Archaeology Linguistics Onomastics and GENetics
The Halogen project is part funded by JISC in the Research Data Management theme to implement a cross disciplinary research database to support the Roots of the British collaboration at the University of Leicester.
The cross-disciplinary Roots of the British (http://www2.le.ac.uk/projects/impact-of-diasporas) collaboration between scholars in humanities and genetics seeks to interrogate the evidence for the migration and/or continuity of human populations in the British Isles in the distant past. The HALOGEN project supports the data management needs of the researchers involved and is thus helping establish organisational best practice in terms of data management planning and the support of diverse cross-disciplinary research data.

Students Speech Culture Development in the Sphere of Onomastics
Students Speech Culture Development in the Sphere of Onomastics
by Assem Aksholakova
Abstract:
With gaining of independence and after emergency of a new country the national onomastic space of Kazakhstan began dynamically to be involved in the global community. Nowadays, we can see active involvement of onomastic units in international official documents. Thus, correct transfer of Kazakh proper names into other languages acquires exceptional value. Consequently, this is a vital problem of modern Kazakh language. Thus, actuality of our work theme specifies social significance of the problem related with development of speech culture acquisition in the same way as conducting of orthological (normative) analysis of Kazakh proper names and conditions of language adaptation in Russian language.

What’s in a Twitter name?
What’s in a Twitter name or handle? Anything: real names, company names, fancy names, pictograms, … the amount of information produced through Twitter is enormous, but it’s possible to filter this ‘bigdata’ in a way to make sense of it. Elian Carsenat created geographic maps of e-Diasporas, by recognizing the Twitter names of geotagged tweets: Irish, Swedish, Russian, etc. He called this Twitter GEOnomastics, borrowing a term from your obedient servant Dr. Evgeny Shokhenmayer (2010).
How does it work? The software accurately recognizes that ‘NamSor Applied Onomastics’ (@NomTri) is probably a trade mark or a company name, whereas ‘Elian Carsenat’ (@ElianCarsenat) is probably a personal name – and most likely a French name. Fancy names are also recognized and filtered out.
The author sees wide applications of such maps. When Captain James Cook explored the seas in the 18th century, having accurate maps could mean life or death for a ship and its crew. Working out latitude had been known for centuries, but measuring longitude was still tricky and inaccurate. In today’s digital world, he sees latitude as ‘recognizing the semantics’ in a message expressed in a particular language and longitude as ‘recognizing the culture’ of the target audience. He's full of curiosity on how and to whom this map can be useful, possibly Twitter itself. Elian Carsenat is going from Paris to Dublin in two weeks to find out : he aspires to meet people at Twitter European Headquarters. Twitter just issued its IPO but is also not clear how to make its money.
Read his next posts to discover more Twitter GEOnomastics maps showing Irish, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Swedish, Italian, Dutch e-Diasporas (or cultural influence).
NB. The maps are currently interactive, so you can zoom in and out of a particular territory, however this may be shut down in a month or two.

Onomastic poem !
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread981225/pg1
Everything that exists has a name
give me a moment
I'll try to explain
A short introduction to Onomastics
the study of Names by Greek democratics
If you are a Human
it's called an Anthroponym
If it's home to a dolphin
the correct term is Hydronym
Regarding a country
it's known as a Demonym
this can also be referred to as Ethnonym
A name is such a little thing
the first gift you ever receive
hunter, gatherer, priest or king
a name is magic if you can believe
To ensure what sanity I have will remain
in a world obsessed with power and wealth
i choose to go by any other name
other than myself
Everything that exists has a name
give me a moment
I'll try to explain
A short introduction to Onomastics
the study of Names by Greek democratics
If you are a Human
it's called an Anthroponym
If it's home to a dolphin
the correct term is Hydronym
Regarding a country

this can also be referred to as Ethnonym
A name is such a little thing
the first gift you ever receive
hunter, gatherer, priest or king
a name is magic if you can believe
To ensure what sanity I have will remain
in a world obsessed with power and wealth
i choose to go by any other name

Names in Novels: An Experiment in Computational Stylistics
By Karina van Dalen-Oskam
Year: 2013
Published in: Literary and Linguistic Computing, volume 28 issue 2 (Jun 2013), pages 359-370

Summary
Proper names in literary texts have different functions. The most important one in real life, identification, is only one of these. Some others are to make the fiction more 'real' or to present ideas about a character by using a name with certain meanings or associations to manipulate the reader's expectations. A description of the functions of a certain name in a certain text becomes relevant when the researcher can point out how it compares to the functions of other names and names in other texts. The article describes how research into names in literary texts needs a quantitative approach to reach a higher level of relevancy. To get a first impression of what may be normal in literary texts, a corpus of twenty-two Dutch and twenty-two English novels and ten translations into the other language in both sets were gathered. The occurrences of all names in these novels have been tagged for those data categories that seemed useful for the literary stylistic research planned. Some first results of the statistics are presented and the use of the approach is illustrated by means of an analysis of the use of geographical names in the Dutch novel Boven is het stil by Gerbrand Bakker and its English translation by David Colmer, The Twin. In the evaluation of the results, special attention is paid to the status of currently available digital tools for named entity recognition and classification, followed by a wish-list for the tools that this kind of research really needs.

Onomasticon Arabicum
Onomasticon Arabicum (OA) is a long-living database project. At present, its online-version informs on more than 12000 scholars and celebrities from the first Muslim millenary. Its entries in Arabic are compiled from ancient biographical dictionaries, a veritable treasure of Islamic culture. Crossed search allows separate interrogation on any of the different elements of the Arabo-Muslim names, dates and places, reconstructing the identity of a person, trace ways of knowledge transmission and frame historical contexts.

Schoc?(h|k)enm(e|a)(i|y)e?r
The high degree of areal variation of the German surname system is now being made accessible
by the German Surname Atlas project (Deutscher Familiennamenatlas), a cooperation between
the universities of Freiburg and Mainz under the direction of Prof. Dr. Konrad Kunze in Freiburg
and Prof. Dr. Damaris Nübling in Mainz. The project started in 2005 and runs till now.
The database consists of all fixed network telephone lines in the Federal Republic of Germany in the year 2005 as provided by the Deutsche Telekom AG. To come up with the approximate number of people who bear a specific name one multiplies the number of telephone lines by 2.9. In Germany, telephone lines are the only comprehensive and available data basis. They are arranged by postal code districts consisting of five digits each.
They usually do not create maps with a single name on it but rather maps which combine several names with the same characteristics by using so-called regular expressions.
By courtesy of Professor Kunze, I could generate map localizing various possible spellings of my surname(s). The surname seems to be pretty rare (13 landlines): 5 for SchocHenmAier(s), 4 for SchocHenmEier(s), 2 for SchocKenmEier(s), 1 for SchocKenmAier and 1 for SchoKenmeier. By extrapolating, we'll get about 40 persons for the whole Germany(!).
As I can see, they are mixed up, but there is only one region where all surnames' versions are to be met. The postal code district is 562XX, where lie Koblenz and Urmitz. It's interesting to discover, because one of my relatives explained that we had taken our origin near to Heilbronn.
The SHOKHENMAYERs
Long before I intented to carry out the research on my own surname: SHOKHENMAYER.
The actual "Shokhenmayer" is the translitteration from Russian "ШОХЕНМА(Й)ЕР". I was told that in various documents of my family in the beginning of the XXth century two German versions are to be found:
Schochenmeier
and
Schochenmaier.
Theoretically, there could be more:
Schochenmeyer
Schochenmayer
Schockenmeier
Schockenmaier
Schockenmeyer
Schockenmayer
Schochenmayr
Schochenmair
Schochenmeir
Schockenmayr
Schockenmair
Schockenmeir
Post by post I will present everything I found in the archives, documents, maps and on the Internet. If you have some ideas, your help will be appriciated a lot!!!

e-Onomastics is 1-year old !!!
It’s November 2013 and yes, I am celebrating my onomastic anniversary.
We’re 1-year old!
It was just a year ago that I decided to continually offer an array of onomastic posts to my readers, linguists, onomatologists.
The big number of visitors, gets me excited every time!
Yes, we can see that e-Onomastics has totally changed.
I have come a long way, but then to ensure a firm footing in the onomastic area, I do need to constantly move forward, bringing innovative ideas to my blog and updating myself in every which way! My onomastic gaze is set on it. So I am fast catching up to this revolutionized market of the applied onomastics. In fact, in a few time, I am looking to establish myself as your ultimate favorite onomastic blogger!
It has been an amazing first year for e-Onomastics… here’s to the next one and many more to come!
I am overwhelmed by the positive response I received from our readers. There has been almost forty thousand of visitors.
In the past one year, several onomastically oriented centers have written about us, featured us and put us up on their list of popular websites.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST !!!

Тайны и легенды «града Тюменя» / Why Tyumen had been called "Tyumen"
Тайны и легенды «града Тюменя» | Тюменская область сегодня
It seems that the local journalist Yelena Dubovskaya has uncovered the mystery of the toponym "Tyumen", which is known as the first Russian town in the Siberia.
It was assumed that this placename had come
- from the Tatar "tumen" for "ten thousand" (as if a tenthousand army stood there);
- from the Bashkir "tumende" for "underneath" (as if the place was beneath);
- from the Ugric "chemgen" for "borough on the way";
- from the Turkic "tyu" for "belonging" and "myana" for "property" (as if it meant "my property")...
Mrs. Dubovskaya discovered that two voevodas of the Tsar, Vasily Sukin and Ivan Myasnoy, in 1586, whithout a second thought, while building up the stockaded town on the big river, recoursed to a naming centuries-old tradition after the junction where the settlement had started. It's very possible that those trailblazers had used the Ugric hydronym "Tem-enk" for naming the new-built fortress.
