| Abstract: | [Traditionalism and modernity in the anthroponymic system of Romanians in the Central District of the Serbian Banat] Almost all studies on toponymy and anthroponymy in Romanian specialised literature investigate concrete onomastic material, collected indirectly, from various old documents, or directly, in the field. In fact, one should mention that the number of professional studies in this area is not large and that, when it comes to the Romanian language in the region of Vojvodina, a very small number of researches have been carried out. Having all that in mind, I decided to investigate personal names in the Romanian villages in the territory of the Central Banat – Ecica, Iancaid, Sărcia, Torac and Uzdin. The material was collected from the registers of births and an analysis of all anthroponyms appearing in the period from 1900 to 2000 was carried out. The goal of the research was to establish which names were popular in the past, if they appear today and to what extent, which are the most popular names today, as well as to determine their evolution and origin. This was achieved by presenting a short selective description of the history and explanations of each name, opting for one of the offered solutions. On the basis of the results obtained, one could conclude that, from 1900 until the end of World War I – in addition to the traditional names encountered among the Romanian population in these regions (Ana, Floarea, Ion, Maria, Petru, Sofia, Todor, Vioara) –, a series of Hungarian and German names was also used. Due to the fact that after 1918 they were replaced with names of other origin, Hungarian and German names slowly disappeared. In addition to traditional names, which persevered, Slavic names appeared after 1920. Following the colonisation implemented after 1945 (the settlement of the population from Bosnia), these names saw some real expansion. Finally, in the last decades of the 20th century, Serbian onomastics was faced with an “invasion” of modern personal names from Western Europe (Eduardo, Raul, Roberto, Vanesa). As regards origin, I was able to note names of Latin, Greek, Slavic, Hebrew, German or Hungarian origin, as well as names specific to Romanian onomastics, modern names from Western Europe and local forms. |
