"Let the name be heard": Bulgarian Karakachan naming strategies and their spatial aspects
Original language description
A former transhumant group of Bulgarian Karakachans has undergone significant changes in their social and material life during the last sixty years. Karakachan naming strategies during the 20th century are analyzed on the basis of a detailed database containing data of 700 persons. Shifts in their naming strategies are put in the context of ongoing social change of this quite recently settled population. Former strategic alliances with the sedentary society was replaced by the tendency to thicken the already existing social ties within the manifold interconnected family units. The paper shows the dynamics of Karakachan naming practices and the usage of names as a social and ethnic marker. Important social relationships are signaled by name, and at the same time manifested in lived space. In this concern, the formerly dominant patriarchal principle has been replaced by a more balanced way of sharing names across the matrilateral and patrilateral kin groups.
