Rolul onomasticii în cercetarea istoriei Transilvaniei în secolele XII-XIII. Studiu de caz: etnotoponimele
The Role of Onomastics in Researching the History of Transylvania in the Twelfth and Thirteenth centuries. Case Study: Ethno-toponyms

Summary/Abstract: Through this study I have managed to analyze a number of place names containing references to the ethnicity of the Populations who lived in that Settlement’s. The Ethnotoponym’s under investigation have been extracted from Documents issued in the 12-13th centuries, which take into account the approximate geographic area of Transylvania, Banat, Crişana and Maramureş. Along with the Toponymic and Documentary sources, in my approach I used data from Chronicles, as well as information from archaeological researches. In this article it can be seen very clearly the importance of the auxiliary sciences of history – in this case Onomastic Science – for a more profound knowledge of the existing realities in the Middle Ages in this geographical and cultural area.
