Czy Bamberka jest poznanianką? Poznańskość Bambrów w świetle ich antroponimii

Abstract

The subject of the article are the names of women – settlers from Bamberg who had lived in the urban villages of Poznań since 1719, and representatives of next generations of Bamberg families. The eponymous Bamberka is treated as an element of the cultural heritage of Poznanians (in both tangible and intangible aspect). The question about Bamberka’s Poznańness refers to the attribution of the same stereotypical traits and common values reproduced on an onymic plane to both Poznanians and Bambers. The model of a Catholic, founded on considering religion an authority in all social matters, determined choices of names made by Bambers and native inhabitants of villages in the suburbs of Poznań to the same degree. The author proves that common values, cultural connotations and onymic stereotypes favoured integration of both groups.
