Abstract

This article seeks to explain what must be taken into account in the etymology of names: one must know the dialect and region of the names studied in great detail, and collect as many examples as possible (including from other countries). In addition, one must know the history of the place and historical documents. Minute special features in a dialect can often be a decisive factor. In addition to Slavic onomastic features, hybrids with Romance and Germanic characteristics must be taken into account for numerous names.
