Namegiving in the Czech Republic: Legal Regulation and the Role of Onomasticians

Original language description

The paper focuses on the issue of the name policy in Czech republic. The process of namegiving is investigated from the point of view of its legal regulation and the role of experts, namely onomasticians, in this process. Two basic categories of proper names are examined: anthroponyms (particularly given names) and toponyms (with a focus on oikonyms and street names). Comparing the two analysed categories of proper names, it becomes evident that there is significant imbalance between the relatively strict regulation in the field of anthroponyms and almost absolute freedom, lack of central regulation and almost no impact of onomasticians in the field of oikonyms and street names.
