About this ebook
The Hispano-Romance Dictionary of Names presents a dictionary of personal names with pre-Roman, Greek and Latin-Romance etymology on the Iberian Peninsula in the Middle Ages (6th - 12th centuries). The introduction provides an overview of medieval personal nomenclature (diatopic, diastratic, and socio-historical aspects) and of linguistic structures (etymology, semantics, morphology, word-formation). There are some 1100 entries in the dictionary; besides commentaries on cultural and linguistic history, they contain representative lists of instances of the names from editions of medieval documents. The commentaries deal with etymology, the motives behind names, questions of social and cultural history (e.g. influence of saints’ cults or of rulers), linguistic structure (of particular interest are delexical names and aspects of language contact as evidenced by hybrid formations), diastratic aspects (e.g. names of Jews and Mozarabs, differences between genders and social strata), the spread of the names in Romance countries, further developments in present-day Romance languages, and finally, references to the relevant secondary literature.
