This paper regards the analysis of commercial names found in the north of Maramureș, a county with a multi-ethnic population, consisting of Romanians, Hungarians, and Ukrainians in the north of Romania, on the border with Ukraine, and where the percentage of people going abroad is big. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the relationship between ethnicity and the language used commercially, but also the causes behind the mother tongue abandonment in the onomastics of the public space in Maramureș. The corpus consists of names of businesses, shops, products seen on the field or on specialised websites. The analysis is done from a lexical-semantic, typological and socio-cultural viewpoint, emphasising the denominator’s mindset when he resorts to a language internationally used in order to name a new business, and also how the name reflects the identity of an ethnic group or the acceptance of alterity. Since the Romanian EU integration, there are no more linguistic boundaries to spe...

Articolul este o analiză a hidronimelor din comuna Ocna Șugatag, județul Maramureș, fiind parte a unei cercetări mai ample asupra toponimiei maramureșene. Amplasat într-o zonă deluroasă, la poalele munților Gutîi, pe cursul rîului Mara, hotarul celor patru localități componente ale comunei, Breb, Hoteni, Sat-Șugatag și Ocna Șugatag, se caracterizează printr-o vastă rețea hidronimică, văi și izvoare, afluenți ai Marei, dar și fîntîni, lacuri și mlaștini. Corpusul lucrării a fost extras din materialul toponimic cules prin anchete de teren, nepublicat pînă în prezent. Numele topice sînt tratate individual, pentru fiecare hidronim precizîndu-se răspunsurile informatorilor, formele diferite, dacă este cazul, precum și date suplimentare, cunoscute de noi, Ocna Șugatag fiind localitatea noastră natală. Scopul acestui demers este stabilirea etimologiei hidronimelor din arealul cercetat. Pentru o privire de ansamblu asupra hidronimiei și a antroponimiei care stă la baza ei, indicăm și ariile...

The article is an analysis of hydronyms from Ocna Șugatag, Maramureș county and it represents a part of a larger research on Maramuseș toponymy. Settled on a hilly area, at the foot of Gutîi mountains, on Mara river, the boundaries of the four localities belonging to the commune: Breb, Hoteni, Sat-Șugatag and Ocna Șugatag are characterized by a vast hydronymic net, with valleys and springs, affluents of Mara river, but also wells, lakes and swamps. The corpus of the work has been extracted from inedit toponymic material collected during field researches. The topic names are individually discussed, for each hydronym the answers given by the subject have been indicated, and also different forms, when registered, and supplementary data known to us, as Ocna Șugatag is our native place. The purpose of the study is to establish the etymology of hydronyms in the researched area. In order to provide a broad perspective on the hydronymy and the anthroponymy which represents its basis, we als...
