From Slovak Onomastic Terminology: Byname, Noble Predicate, Surname - Family Name, Dynastic Name (Part 2)

Summary/Abstract: Byname, noble predicate, surname, family name and dynasticname are special onomastic, resp. anthroponomastic terms. Some are specific only for onomastics, e.g. byname, others have more widespreaduse, e.g. surname. While the terms byname, noble predicate, surname are included as individual anthroponyms, the terms family name and dynastic name are group anthroponyms. Despite the fact that they belong to the basic generic terms, their understanding and definition is not always unambiguous and uniform with regard to individual languages or national onomastics. Some of these terms are understood as synonymous (surname, family name), because they reflect the older state of use in Slovak onomastics. Others are in a hyperonymic-hyponymic relationship (noble predicate as a kind ofbyname). The meanings of these terms are related to the development of naming persons and with the transition of the one-element anthroponymic system to the two-element system. The paper deals with the analysis of these terms, their semantic features and their definition with regard to the development of naming and the state of their use in contemporary Slovak onomastics. The terms surname, family name and dynastic name are characterized in the second part of the article.
