Living personal names of married men from the upper Myjava region

Abstract

In this paper, we characterize unofficial anthroponyms in the class of married men in one village in the Upper Myjava region (anthroponymic microsystem). The area of the Myjava Uplands represents a territory of the oldest and at the same time the most intensive Kopaničiar settlement in Slovakia. We present naming models, which are formed by functional members first name, surname, family name, individual characteristics, name of the house and appellative element. A functional member is a member defined by basic semantic features as an element with a specific designation.
