 L'AVENTURE ONOMASTIQUE


http://blogs.mediapart.fr/blog/emc/160215/laventure-onomastique



Tantôt bonne aventure
Tantôt revers d'époque 

Touche eschatologique 
Ou prétexte à l'hagiographie 

Ou tout simplement siamoisé
A tous les non de nom de noms

Presque toujours le nom
Ou tout simplement le prénom

Ou peut-être même un alias
Tombé de quelque aliboufier

Scellent votre destin
Au cours onomastique 

Des bons samaritains 
Qui montent le moment

En veaux d'or stupéfiants
Aux places publiques du monde

Tantôt bonne fortune
Tantôt calamité

Selon l'otite occasionnée
Ou la quiétude auriculaire

En intolérance acoustique
Ou en canzone d'aparté

Tantôt revers d'époque
Tantôt bonne fortune

В Киеве может появиться улица Сверстюка

http://gazeta.ua/ru/articles/kiev-life/_v-kieve-mozhet-poyavitsya-ulica-sverstyuka/598501


В Киеве может появиться улица Сверстюка
radiosvoboda.org
В КГГА обратились с призывом переименовать улицу, на которой жил Евгений Сверстюк.
Сейчас улица, на которой жил и писал Евгений Сверстюк, простирается от Броварского проспекта до бульвара Верховной Рады в жилом массиве "Левобережный", и называется именем сотрудницы НКВД, советской летчицы Марины Расковой.
"Украинский институт национальной памяти - центральный орган исполнительной власти, в Кабинете Министров Украины отвечает за восстановление исторической памяти и преодоления последствий тоталитарного прошлого в обществе - направил письмо с инициативой присвоения улице М. Расковой имени выдающегося украинского философа, диссидента Евгения Сверстюка к мэру Киева", - говорится в сообщении.
"Светлой памяти Евгений Сверстюк принадлежит к той когорте граждан, без которых трудно представить современную Украину, ее культурное и интеллектуальное наследие, наконец - культурную карту Европы ХХ века. Он заслужил то, чтобы его именем назвали улицу в столице, - говорит председатель Украинского института национальной памяти Владимир Вятрович. - Тем более, улица, на которой он жил, не имеет для Киева исторической важности: Марина Раскова не имела никакого отношения к Украине, была уполномоченным особого отдела НКВД и членом ВКП (б) ".
Председатель УИНП подчеркнул, что Киев как и вся Украина избавляется тоталитарного прошлого в топонимике. Поэтому Владимир Вятрович ожидает, что киевская община положительно откликнется на инициативу назвать улицу именем Евгения Сверстюка.
Напомним, Евгений Сверстюк ушел из жизни 1 декабря этого года.

Surnames of Ethnonymic Origin in the Hungarian Language

https://www.academia.edu/11069376/Surnames_of_Ethnonymic_Origin_in_the_Hungarian_Language




by Tamas Farkas from Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary



Surnames of ethnonymic origin in the Hungarian language

 Abstract:

 Surnames originating from ethnonyms form a characteristic part of the Hungarian surname stock, in comparison with surname corpuses of other European nations. Among the 10 most frequent surnames in Hungary, 3 are of this type: Tóth (= Slavic, Slovak), Horvát (= Croat),  Német (= German). These names make up at most 0.5% of the surname stock, yet their proportion could be estimated at about 7–8%. An analysis is presented here of the composition of the stock of these Hungarian surnames; the background and motivations for their creation; a historical perspective on the changes in their category; and the characteristics of their geographical distribution.

Keywords:  ethnonym, family name, etymology, name geography, Hungarian.

Namen sind kostbares Kulturgut. Für die Identität des Menschen ist es bedeutsam und interessant, die Herkunft und die mögliche Bedeutung seines Familiennamens herauszufinden. Viele Familiennamen (Schreibnamen) in Kärnten sind verballhornt, d.h. lautlich umgestaltet überliefert. Darüber hinaus wurden sie von Schreibern „zerpflückt“, weil ihnen die Bedeutung unklar oder unverständlich war. Wegen der Materialfülle und der unterschiedlichen Deutungsmöglichkeiten erheben die Autoren jedoch keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit, weder in den Beispielen noch in deren etymologischer Deutung, d.h. in ihrer Bedeutung und Herkunft.

«Наутилус», «Агата Кристи» и «Чайф» просят переименовать улицу в Екатеринбурге


http://www.uralweb.ru/news/society/435297.html

«Наутилус», «Агата Кристи» и «Чайф» просят переименовать улицу в Екатеринбурге


Источник: www.znak.com
Фото: Вячеслав Бутусов. russianlook.com

Известные свердловские музыканты обратились в администрацию Екатеринбурга с просьбой переименовать тупиковую улицу Володарского, примыкающую к площади 1905 года, в «Рок-клубовскую». Именно на этой улице в 1980-е годы работал знаменитый свердловский рок-клуб, объединивший многие знаменитые уральские рок-группы — «Наутилус Помпилиус», «Чайф», «Агата Кристи», «Настя», «Урфин Джюс» и другие. Клуб располагалсяв Д. К. Свердлова.





В 2016 году клубу исполнится тридцать лет. В преддверии юбилея музыканты, участвовавшие в работе клуба, предлагают переименовать улицу Володарского. По их данным, сейчас на этой короткой тупиковой улице всего три здания, поэтому замена названия не повлечет серьезных расходов. Кроме того, пишут они, название «Рок-клубовская» почти традиционно для екатеринбургской топонимики: улица Первомайская до 1919 года называлась «Клубная».
«Торжественная церемония переименования улицы и открытия памятного знака станет ярким событием культурной жизни города и всей страны, — говорится в обращении. — Это станет уникальным в российской истории общественно значимым событием и лишний раз напомнит о весомой роли Екатеринбурга в культурной жизни России».
«Памятный знак на улице Рок-клубовской может стать еще одним местом притяжения для туристов и жителей Екатеринбурга, — считают музыканты. — Когда здание Дома культуры, ныне находящееся в аварийном состоянии, будет отремонтировано, в одном из его помещений может открыться мемориальная экспозиция, посвященная рок-клубу. Это станет еще одним знаковым местом на культурной карте Екатеринбурга».
Письмо подписали Вячеслав Бутусов («Наутилус Помпилиус»), Евгений Горенбург (группа «Топ», фестиваль «Старый новый рок»), Николай Грахов (Свердловский рок-клуб), Дмитрий Карасюк (архив рок-клуба), Александр Коротич (рок-художник), Александр Пантыкин (группа «Урфин Джюс»), Анастасия Полева (группа «Настя»), Вадим Самойлов (группа «Агата Кристи»), Михаил Симаков (группа «Апрельский марш»), Владимир Шахрин (группа «Чайф»).

Onomastica Canadiana 93

http://www.onomastikblog.de/ni_rezensionen/onomastica_canadiana_93/

Onomastica Canadiana, Band 93, 1/2 (Journal of the Canadian Society for the Study of Names/Revue de la Société canadienne d'onomastique), Redaktion: Carol J. Léonard, Yaïves Ferland und Wolfgang Ahrens, Edmonton, Alberta: Campus Saint-Jean, University of Alberta, 2014, 31 + 44 S. – ISSN 0078-4656.
Gunter Schaarschmidt, Sidney/BC, Canada
Nach fast vierjähriger Pause hat die kanadische Zeitschrift Onomastica Canadiana ihr Erscheinen wieder aufgenommen. Der Herausgeber, Professor Carol J. Léonard vom Saint-Jean Campus der Universität Alberta (Edmonton), bittet in seinem Vorwort die Leser und Mitgliedschaft um Geduld und macht die veränderten Bedingungen in der Herausgabe für die lange Pause verantwortlich. Die vorliegende Doppelnummer setzt die Nummerierung der Bände mit Band 93 fort, datiert den Band allerdings mit dem Jahr 2014 statt 2011.
Der erste Teil des Doppelbandes enthält zwei Beträge und eine Buchbesprechung: erstens die kürzere Arbeit „Quel adjectif pour Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau? Un mystère enfin élucidé“ des Kanadiers Gabriel Martin (1–7) und zweitens die längere Arbeit des Holländers Riemer Reinsma „Toponyms indicating the number of dwellings (Driehus 'three houses', etc.): why did the counter stop at that particular point?“ (9–24).
Die Buchbesprechung (25–31) stammt von dem Kanadier und Mitherausgeber der Zeitschrift Wolfgang Ahrens und befasst sich mit dem Sammelband Onomastics goes Business: Role and Relevance of Brand, Company, and Other Names in Economic Contexts, herausgegeben von Julia Kuhn und Martin Stegue (Berlin: Logos Verlag, 2012, 287 S.). Deutsche Leser dürfte der Beitrag des Leipziger Namenforschers Christian Zschieschang über „Ortsnamen slavischer Herkunft in Bohemia and Saxony during the Middle Ages“ besonders interessieren.
Im zweiten Teil des Doppelbandes befinden sich zwei längere Beiträge sowie eine Forschungsnotiz („research note/note de recherche“). Der erste Beitrag (1–12) stammt von Marc-Alexandre Beaulieu (Universität Leiden) mit dem Titel „An Analysis of Cobo’s hagiotoponyms of South America and related indigenous toponyms“. Bernabé Cobo war ein Jesuitengelehrter (1592–1657), der in seinem Buch History of the Inca Empire u.a. eine vollständiges Verzeichnis spanischer Ortsnamen in Südamerika vorlegte. In diesem Verzeichnis sind 92 von den 280 spanischen Ortsnamen Hagiotoponyme einschließlich etlicher Hybridhagiotoponyme nach dem Muster San Miguel de Tangarará (spanisch – Sec [eine indigene Sprache an der Nordküste von Perú]). Der zweite Beitrag (13–37) mit dem Titel „Wanganui and Whanganui: two names and two identities?“ von Philip W. Matthews (Neuseeland) beschreibt die Wahl zwischen den beiden Formen dieses Gewässer-, Orts- und Flurnamens in Neuseeland im Zusammenhang mit zwei Volksabstimmungen und den offiziellen Richtlinien des New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB), der u.a. für Namenänderungen verantwortlich ist. Der NZGB entschied sich für Whanganui als die ursprüngliche Namenform in Māori, der Minister für Landeskunde dagegen beschloss die Beibehaltung beider Namen in Hinsicht auf die Mehrzahl der Wähler und Eingaben. Der Forschungsbericht (39–44) am Ende des zweiten Teils von Band 93 von Élisabeth Calavarin (Paris) befasst sich mit der Wahl der schriftsprachlichen Bezeichnungen von Himmelsrichtungen (le nord, le sud, l’est, l’ouest) in der französischen Toponymie: „Orientons-nous ou Essai d’écriture des points cardinaux dans les textes français“. Die Autorin diskutiert Probleme sowohl in der Groß- und Kleinschreibung z.B. in Oronymen (le cap Nord), Hydronymen (les passages du Nord-Ouest), Politonymen (la Corée du Nord), Odonymen (la rue du Nord gegenüber, zum Beispiel, on fait route vers le nord) als auch im Gebrauch von Präpositionen sowie von Abkürzungen (N.S.E.O.) im technischen Gebrauch von n˚ n’ zur Bezeichnung von Längengraden oder Breitengraden.
Im Großen und Ganzen ist dieser Band sehr informativ und nicht nur von Interesse für die kanadische, sondern auch für die internationale Namenforschung, also ein vielversprechender Neuanfang.
