Pomeranian surnames derived from lexical dialectisms

Summary/Abstract: In the introduction the author presents some Pomeranian surnames described earlier in various works. The present paper includes 77 surnames derived from lexical dialectisms. There are among them names obtained from uniquely Pomeranian соошюп words (e.g. Bela from ap. béla ’blondhaired’), from words occurring also in other dialects (e.g. Mania : ap. mama ’left-handed’), from appelatives borrowed from German (e.g. Szpek : ap. szpek ’bacon’ - Germ. Speck), from lexicaliced variants of common Polish words (e.g. Dura : ap. dura ’dziura - a hole’) etc. The described surnames exhibit a close connection between anthroponymy and dialectology, especially historical dialectology.
