Abstract

The linguistic geography of names is a discipline studying the geographical distribution and characteristics of certain types of names or individual names. It is a research topic closely associated with the broader area of linguistic geography. One of its major aims is to explore interconnections across systems of names but its tasks also include the study of geographical aspects of any phenomenon that is embodied in proper nouns. The paper surveys the sources of Hungarian onomastic geography and the research methods and results of the geography of place names and the geography of personal names of that language.
