The Role of Onomastics in Researching the History of Transylvania during the 12th and 13th Centuries. Case Study: Ethnotoponyms

  • TITLU în română: Rolul onomasticului în cercetarea istoriei Transilvaniei în secolele al XII-lea şi al XIII-lea. Studiu de caz: Etnotoponimie
  • Subiect: Through this study I have managed to analyse a number of place names containing references to the ethnicity of the populations that lived in various settlements across and around Transylvania. The ethnotoponyms under investigation have been extracted from documents issued in the 12th-13th centuries, which take into account the approximate geographical area of Transylvania, Banat, Crişana and Maramureş. Besides toponymic and documentary sources, in my approach I have used data from chronicles, as well as information from archaeological researches. In this article, what can be seen very clearly is the importance of the auxiliary sciences of history – in this case the science of onomastics – for a more profound knowledge of the realities existing in this geographical and cultural area during the Middle Ages.
