O imiennictwie miechowian w XXI wieku (między tradycją a współczesnością)

Abstract

The article concerns first names given to the male residents of Miechów in the years 2001– 2010. Miechów’s public register of baptisms records 475 boys with, essentially, 106 different names. The names are presented and analyzed, with a particular focus on the influences from various traditions which inspired their choice. Despite constant changes in baby names, continuity and deference to tradition can be found amongst the names analyzed, especially with respect to the local tradition of binomialism.
