The main objective of this chapter is to address personal first name bestowal in the Brazilian anthroponymic system, with an emphasis on exotic or unconventional names which exceed the concept of normality as a set of problems. In addition to briefly reviewing the literature on the subject in Portuguese from the point of view of name bestowal in the West, it the chapter presents field research data collected in 2013 in a survey with youth and adults residents in the Greater São Paulo, not necessarily born there, mainly those who fall in the category of individuals with unconventional or exotic names, according to current standards.

Muchas veces, la memoria de una persona recupera lo que el método histórico no pudo recuperar. En el caso de
los estudios de toponimia, se considerarán dos puntos: el primero tiene que ver con la permanencia, en la
memoria del hablante que vive y utiliza el espacio al cual se refiere el nombre actual, del nombre anterior. En la
mayor parte de los casos, hubo alteraciones en la nomenclatura o el propio referente físico (el objeto
denominado), así que el nombre al cual estaba vinculado desaparece, por la dinámica de las transformaciones
urbanas. El otro punto considerado está relacionado con las denominaciones espontáneas nunca oficializadas por
el poder público, desarrolladas naturalmente durante el proceso de referencialización espacial en el discurso de
los hablantes. Esas denominaciones son esenciales para analizar los procesos discursivos subyacentes a la
cristalización del nombre propio de lugares. Por medio de entrevistas e investigaciones documentales se pudo
formar un perfil toponomástico del barrio llamado Tatuapé a lo largo de los siglos (el barrio surgió antes de
1650) y de su reciente transformación urbanística y toponímica, para verificar, así, los rasgos principales de esa
toponimia mixta de elementos espontáneos y no-espontáneos.

This paper presents results of research project Lexical variation in Portuguese toponymy, which is part of a future Toponymic Atlas of Portugal. It brings a historiographical overview of studies on hydronymy and Portuguese hydrotoponymy, updating and discussing methodological criteria and place name’s theory. In particular, it shows how the geographical entity that receives a name (the generic) shall incorporate the name itself, thus loss partial or complete its semantic sense. In addition, the distribution of lexical variations in continental Portuguese territory reveals the relationship between Toponymy, Dialectology and Philology, essentially disciplines included in this dialogue. The results show the maintenance of archaisms or ancient forms of language in Portuguese waters.

Concise and simple, this paper discusses and illustrates some important concepts to Toponymic theory in Brazil. It also discusses personal names genesis and its relation to place names. Therefore, our reflection is based in Portuguese's structure, considering its juxtaposition formation. Obviously, the issue is not limited to this reflection. The same study can be applied to other linguistic sign patterns, discussing onomastic's branches from other sign's perspectives, according to several linguistic theories of XX and XXI centuries.

The naming system tha characterises the current public spaces of Portugal, especially its villages, originates in the Middle Ages, althought one can find the name pattern of anthoponymic motivation sice the time of the Roman rule in the Iberian Peninsula. This paper aims to present some initial data in general terms, in accordance with toponymic stratigraphy, highlighting, in the morphological structure of the toponyms, the presence of the possessive suffix that is attached to the anthroponym which refers to the "possessor" (land owner).At a more specific level, the research aims at analysing sope toponyms in Braga, an area that is important in the study of the formation of Galician Portuguese language.

Although young, when compared to European cities, the city of São Paulo is one of the oldest in Brazil (1554). Emerging as a small village, and currently characterized by neighborhoods that originate in very different times throughout its history, São Paulo is defined as a mosaic. Our specific goal is to present and discuss the main naming models superimposed on the city’s public spaces (particularly roads and bridges) century by century, and arriving to the twenty-first century with the lack of public policies that regard toponymy as an essential tool to build a symbolic bridge between the past and the present.
Research Interests:
This paper aims to portray the history of naming systems in the ancient world, and also display the fundamentals of proper names in our civilization, from the perspective of comparative ethnotoponymy and anthroponymy.

The book “Memórias da Rua do Ouvidor” (Memories of Ouvidor’s Street) has been chosen because it keeps a very close relationship with the history of the toponymic formation of old center of Rio de Janeiro city - not just Ouvidor Street, but also Largo da Carioca, the Quitanda Street, the first churches, the enlargement of streets, the replacement of the designative and the fixation of the place names. Despite being a semi-fictional book, it can be considered a historical chronicle. It’s precious not only for the pleasure of reading but because it allows a memorialistic recovering in some time instances: the time of the narrator (late nineteenth century), Rio de Janeiro’s expansion and nowadays time. It is at this point that it will make a connection between the literary descriptions, using the toponymic configuration element as a fictional space, to compare it to the real universe of discourse - the fictional memory facing today real memory.

This article aims to analyze some linguistic phenomena resulting from study of toponymy and dialectology Portugal. They are phenomena that occur often in toponymy, especially when the place name has been established for some time and the word which originated ultimately leave the lexical system (into disuse by the speakers), causing a non-decoding of the meaning. Both this phenomena (semantic deflation and ressemantizacion) are common: the original significance becomes crystallized, or takes on new meaning.
Some place names presented here may have its meaning recovered. The morphological study of place names allows the reestablishment of significance, because morphemes are elements that remain intact in the suffixes, bringing to the researcher archaic morphological brands such as plurals, diminutives and genitives, among others, allowing possible to check out the average time of toponym born.

Este artículo presenta algunos de los resultados obtenidos durante la segunda etapa de realización del proyecto investigativo Memoria toponomástica de são Paulo, barrio a barrio (región oeste de São Paulo, barrio Instituto Previdência). También se proponen reflexiones sobre conceptos teóricos de toponimia urbana a través del intento de recuperarse parte de la historia toponímica de la región oeste de la ciudad de São Paulo, de desarrollo urbano reciente, sea por la cartografía, por la memoria de antiguos habitantes de la vecindad o aún por fuentes documentales históricos. El resultado indica tendencias de nominación sincrónicas y propone reflexiones sobre criterios denominativos en una gran ciudad brasileña, indicando huecos y ofreciendo soluciones para la conservación del topónimo como herencia cultural inmaterial, evitando, de este modo, alteraciones innecesarias.

This paper presents the first results of the research project “Lexical Variants in Portuguese toponymy: the generic”, linked to the future “ Toponymic Atlas of Portugal”. We study the designation of geographical entities related to hydrography (rivers, streams, lakes, waterfalls, etc. ..) and their distribution in Portuguese territory, according to the lexical variation. This article is complemented by another (to be published in 2012), presented at the XXIV International Congress of ICOS of Onomastic Sciences (Barcelona, September 2011). Link:

This paper aims to discuss how place names are linked to philology. The status of both scientific disciplines – toponymy and philology – is briefly discussed, recalling the history of the toponymy Iberian studies and some of the main authors in the twentieth century. It also shows how toponymy relies philology as a tool in their investigative techniques. On the other hand, we discuss its status as a recovery tool primarily linguistic and philological in both frames comparativists the nineteenth century as today.
In a practical way, the paper articulates how an antique place name (apparently emptied of its meaning) sounds “hollow” and shows the importance of the philological method at the time of recovery of the semantic content of the toponym, demonstrating, in practice, the articulation of the two disciplines.
To complete this brief survey we chose to mention only a single author who used this double-jointed in his studies, Joseph-Marie Piel - using in this case, only one original lexia, bŏs ("ox"), whose current form in the place names, Busto, has numerous relations not only with the initial cut toponyms mentioned by the author (northwest Iberian Peninsula), but may resonate out there - as in the case of toponyms transplanted to Brazil. The choice is justified by the space chosen by the author for several of his studies, Northwest Hispanic, projecting ourselves in a space before the Portuguese and Spanish langages, and sending us to rescue a substrate pre-romanic in addition to their contributions in the form of adstratum and superstratum.

This text is a condensation of my PhD Thesis. The religion is a subject always in fashion and, many times, it changes the configuration of economic and political settings, as we can see among the centuries. As a social fact, it also leaves marks in the lexikon; those marks are expressed, especially, towards the place-names, or toponymies. Realising those facts throw our Master course, we had chosen going ahead with this subject in our PhD research, emphasizing the Portuguese hierotoponymy, which means, in another way, the study of the sacred names applied to place-names. The study process involved a critical reflection moment on the Portuguese toponymy, subsidized by our knowledge of the Dick’s onomastic theory proposal, such as a practical analysis, that made possible the application of the methodology inserted in this theory.
The study with 1195 hierotoponymies containing the expression Our Lady had allowed some conclusions, from which we detach the numerical superiority of the religious names at north of Portugal, in detriment of the south, because the last one had been marked by seven centuries of Arabian presence. That difference supplies, throw of real marks in the toponimic lexikon, the reality of the Christian north and of the Muslim south, by the occasion of the toponimical formation.
Other conclusions, from the semantic point of view, are going to show why Virgin Mary received so many diffent names, if she is just one. The importance of this thesis resides, in the reality, in two main points: the methodological exercise applied, which results of a reflection process and study on the Dick’s onomastic theory proposal, and the rescue of the work of José Leite de Vasconcellos, whose intelectual production is essential, in my opinion, to any reflection that involves the language and the Portuguese culture.

"One of the main tasks of students of Literature is to analyze and criticize texts. It is a hard task, which demands studies and method. To propose a new tool for literary analysis is arduous as well, but conjugating different areas of Traditional Linguistics, which present strong intersection elements (Onomastics and Lexicology), we are able, through the old paths of the Science of Meaning, to consider a new form of analyzing literary texts: to look for the author’s intention through the meaning of his/her characters’namcs.

To use the language and its symbolic meaning to seize the world has been steadily since the early humans. To analyze the origins of the names is not dilettantism, but rather a way to recover genuine social, cultural and religious phenomena, among others. These things are apparently lost, but properly registered in fragments of meaning of “untouched” names. This paper aims to show how this is possible and what the main theoretical lines (Anthroponymy, a branch of Onomastics) draw the language to detect overlapping facts and motives through the centuries, providing a recover of collective memory.

This paper analyzes toponyms that shows Portuguese medieval social phenomena, considering the conservative tendency of the place name. The aim is verify the immutability of men, regardless of “chrono-spacial” variations: the deep structure of a name (reason or final instance resulting from the analysis of a toponymic discourse, i.e., when it really achieves to reach the ideology of involved denominator, revealing all of a human era particular ideological propensity), the deep structure of the place name is the same at any time and space, although its cover linguistic changes according to cultural variations.

Far from wonder something conclusive, this paper proposes an invitation to think about the nature of the relationship between geographic element and place name in brazilian and Portuguese place names. With this goal we present some lexical variants in generic portuguese toponyms related to water (illustrating the physical world) and human settlements (keeping the reality division observed by Sapir) and, of course, possible counterpoints to the nomenclature Brazilian geographical.

Several authors have discussed, in many opportunities, the nomination of spaces - human endeavor inherent in men. As systematic disciplinary body, the Toponymy was born in the nineteenth century and since then much has been done to explore not only the proper names as linguistic repositories that they relly are, but to give them their appropriate importance as a pragmatic element of spatial organization. In Brazil, the discipline Toponymy have not yet spread as expected, even with every effort to systematize and researches undertaken. It is necessary to set goals for the future, considering the example of other countries. This paper has therefore two main goals: to make a retrospective of Onomastic studies carried out in Brazil, especially in the twentieth century, and to reflect about what steps are needed to the country to participate, in an active way, into international level dialogues. It also brings the proper name concept and its principal theories.
