ASPECTS OF THE DOBRUDGEAN TOPONYMY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ROMANIAN TOPONYMY

Summary/Abstract: Romanian toponymy evolved over the years and millennia from a linguistic point of view. Topical names appeared at certain historical moments and are associated with certain moments in the material and spiritual life of people, leaving a trace of society from different eras. The research of Dobrudgean toponymy highlights current problems and aspects in the general and Romance linguistics. These problems and aspects have materialized in analyses and interpretations of distinct toponymic facts and phenomena, as a result of the complexity of investigation methods and principles at the contemporary level. The way of life of the inhabitants, the relations and the direct links between people and society, etc. played a special role in this process. We can assert that the cities in Dobrogea are very stable, regardless of their ethnicity, and the toponymic names provide an additional proof of the continuity and stability of the Romanian society in medieval and contemporary Dobrogea.
