TRACES OF PAGANISM IN SLAVIC ANTHROPONYMICS BASED ON FEMALE ANTHROPONYMICON: WORDVIEW PERSPECTIVE
Journal Title: Записки з ономастики - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 18
Abstract
This article is part of a long-term research of the author, devoted to the reconstruction of the Proto-Slavic anthroponymic system. It deals with women’s own namings that in ancient Slavic texts are mentioned with no indication of women’s personal names. The reasons for this lies not in disempowered position of women as is customary in the existing onomastic works. Instead, the unique features of women’s naming formulas are being explained from the cognitive point of view and in evolutionary sacred context. The author considers self patronyms and andronyms to be euphemisms used due to the pagan taboo on names caused by female puberty, cult of blood, and transition to the next age class.
