Abstract

The research object of the present text is 3 Polish, 11 Slovakian, and 6 Czech male anthroponyms, derived from 22 Roman mythological names. The main aims are to present the list of the analyzed anthroponyms and to speak on their meanings. The researched anthroponyms are divided into two major groups according to: 1) the type of the basic word, used during the process of name derivation, as a part of speech; 2) the type formed from a Roman mythological name, i. e. if the West-Slavonic anthroponym is derived from its form of Nom. sg. or from its root. Additional extralinguistic classification is made according to the canonization of the researched names, i. e. if it is a name of a saint, and, if the saint is canonized only by the Orthodox Church, by the Catholic one, or by both of them.

REZUMAT

Obiectul de cercetare al prezentei lucrări îl constituie 3 antroponime masculine poloneze, 11 slovace şi 6 cehe, derivate din 22 de nume mitologice romane. Principalele obiective ale investigaţiei sunt prezentarea listei antroponimelor analizate şi discutarea semnificațiilor acestora. Antroponimele analizate sunt împărțite în două grupe majore în funcție de: 1) tipul unităţii lexicale, din care derivă substantivul cu pricina; 2) tipul de derivare din numele mitologic roman, adică din forma lui la Nom. sg. sau din rădăcina acestuia. O clasificare extraglotică suplimentară se face în funcție de canonizarea numelor cercetate, adică dacă este vorba de numele unui sfânt şi dacă sfântul este canonizat doar de Biserica Ortodoxă, de cea Catolică sau de ambele.
