Derivative suffixes producing settlement names in official naming practices

Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the morphology of official settlement names. The author examines which derivative suffixes are used in this place name stock. In order of frequency: suffixes -s, -d, -i, -sd, -ka/-ke and -ny are often found in official settlement names; sometimes their frequency exceeds the number of their occurrences in settlement names formed in the non-official processes of place-naming. Interestingly enough, during Magyarization of surnames some of the derived official settlement name forms were turned into family names by way of attaching the suffix -i.
