Sobriquet or Personal Name? The Problem of Nicknames in Transylvania during the 12th-13th Centuries

  • TITLU în română: Poreclă sau nume personal? Problema poreclelor în Transilvania în secolele XII-XIII
  • Subiect: This study aims to subject to analysis a series of medieval anthroponyms whose use as personal names or as nicknames (sobriquets) is unclear. This is caused by the fact that what appeared as a unique name or a sobriquet in the 12th-13th centuries definitely became a nickname from the late 13th century onwards and especially during the next century. These anthroponyms are not part of the group of Christian anthroponyms except to a little extent, but they are similar in that they have a certain linguistic meaning, which we have tried to highlight and analyse in this article. Then, on this basis, we attempted to draw a conclusion with respect to the classification of names in the 12th-13th centuries as anthroponyms or as sobriquets.
