Foreword
In 13−16 August 2009, The Research Institute for the Languages of Finland organized an
international symposium on urban place name research in Vuosaari, Helsinki, Finland. Over 60
scholars from all over the world attended the first-of-its-kind meeting, paying witness to a
considerable upsurge in the interest in the onomastic aspects of urban processes lately experienced
in many humanities and social sciences. Even in more fruitful and multiple ways than we initially
dared to wish as the organizers, the goals set to the symposium were fulfilled perfectly. Our
sincerest thanks belong to all who present in Vuosaari during those enthusiastic days.
Increasingly, urban place name scholars have begun to ask questions such as: In what ways power
structures and social identities are constructed and contested through the naming of streets and other
urban constructions? What is the role of place names in the formation of lived everyday meanings
and cognitive perceptions of urban space? What is the contribution of specific disciplines to the
study of urban toponymies, and how might interdisciplinary approaches to it be best facilitated? In
the Vuosaari symposium, the keynote speakers professor Staffan Nyström (University of Uppsala)
and professor Maoz Azaryahu (University of Haifa) considered these issues from the perspectives
of urban name planning and the politics of toponymic commemorations, respectively. In addition,
nearly 40 session papers investigated institutional procedures, commercial aspirations and day-today meanings related to toponymic landscapes in both historical and present-day urban settings.
This Internet-compilation comprises of four contributions presented in the symposium. In the
initiating paper, Olga Mori thoughtfully discusses the contextual embeddedness of street names, in
both linguistic and non-linguistic senses of the term. Next, Mustafa Arslan brings to fore the
elements of the ancient Luwian language in the present toponymy of Turkey and its county of
Beyşehir, in particular. In the following account of the changing historical and political
circumstances of naming practices in the Czech Republic, Milan Harvalik stresses the importance of
approaching the task of selection of public urban names “with consideration and responsibility” –
especially if past mistakes as exemplified by the Czech case are to be avoided. In the final paper,
Riemer Reinsma topically points out Dutch instances of a new urban naming trend in which the
orientational and descriptive functions of old names are being replaced by deliberately nostalgic
onomastic evocations.

On ancient Luwian elements in the toponymy of the Beyşehir
county, Turkey
Introduction
Located in central Anatolia, the surrounding areas of the city of Konya have been inhabited since
Neolithic ages (Kapucu 2008). Most famously, the neolithic Çatalhöyük settlement is known around
Turkey and even the whole world. Its history dates back to 7500 BC. In addition, the later presence
of Hittite cultures in the region has been evidenced by archaeological and written sources (Bahar
1996). The Luwian language, a most common and longest lived language during the Hittite period,
was used in the area in the second millennium BC (Alp 2005).
In the classical age, the Konya region was known as Lykaonia (Bahar 1996), a name obviously
derived from the word luqqa in 2000 BC (Alp 2005). For its part, the name Konya is a derivative of
İkonnion, or İconium, as it is referred to in the New Testament (Acts of the Apostles, XIII-XIV). In
1069, Seljuqian raiders occupied central Anatolia and the city of Konya (Sevim 1990). After the
Malazgirt Battle in 1071, Anatolia was conquered by the Seljuqs. In turn, İconium became known
as Konya.
The county of Beyşehir is located in the western part of the current Konya province. It was
inhabited in the Neolithic ages, too, as studies regarding this period indicate the culvation of
domesticated cereals and peas, as well as the keeping of cattle and sheep (Bordaz 1973).
Archaeological studies conducted in Erbaba, the first known settlement in the Beyşehir area, have
discovered links between Çatalhöyük and Hacılar settlements in Burdur (Mellink 1976). Hence,
Beyşehir and its vicinity were in touch with central Anatolia and Mediterranean region even in the
Neolithic ages.
Beyşehir was an important center in the Hittite Period, too. There are two beautiful monuments still
left in the area that belonged to the Hittites. While the Eflatunpınar Monument is located in
Sadıkhacı town, the Fasıllar Statue, over seven meters in height, lies within a classical Roman
stadium in Fasıllar village (Mellaart 1962) (Figures 1a & 1b). Inferred from these monuments and
other sources, the Luwian language was commonly used in the region.

Elements of the Luwian language surviving in toponymy
The oldest Luwian elements are found in tablets from the age of Assyrian trade colonies. In the light
of personal and place names mentioned in them, the first Luwians came to Anatolia before 2000
BC. While the south of Turkey was known as Luwia during the so-called Old Kingdom, the Luwian
language was spoken in the current territory of Turkey until the end of the 6th century BC (Bahar
2005) .
As Alp (2005) has observed, place names with -nt and -ss suffixes – found currently in Anatolia,
Greece and even Italy – are originally Luwian. In addition, one can find an abundance of words
abra, apra, abra and ibra, and words based on these roots, in the toponymy of the historical area of
Luwian Pelasg culture, in particular. As Umar (1993) has pointed out, these words refer to different
types of places associated with water, and especially to geographical features with substantial
amounts of water in their vicinity. Interestingly, many currently used Turkish place names with -ibr
and -ivr roots also appear to be associated with water. My argument is that these names probably are
the vestiges of the ancient Luwian language. A number of examples from the Beyşehir county and
other regions of Turkey, such as Ibrim (a place near Lake Beysehir), Çivril (a village near a river),
İvriz (a village near a spring), or İbradı (a county near Manavgat River), thus betray an original
Luwian association with water.
Likewise, there exists an interesting place name in Karahisar village in Beysehir: Cebrail Çesmesi
(Figure 2). While the generic term Çesme means ‘drinking fountain’ in Turkish, Cebrail is the
archangel Gabriel and also a common first name for males in Turkey. Yet the root -ebr in Cebrail
gives a hint that the original name for the age-old fountain and its surroundings was not connected
with the Archangel Gabrial (the messenger of God who did not have a duty to do with water), or a
person named after him.
4

Another good example of a drinking fountain is located in the neighbouring city of Aksehir. Its
name is İbre Çeşmesi ‘İbre drinking fountain’ (Figure 3). İbre means ‘pin shaped thing’ in Turkish.
Yet this meaning and the feature in question appear to have no relationship whatsoever. As I
interpret it, Turkish people named the above two drinking fountains after the (phonetic) model the
Luwian people had done before them. However, this history has not attracted scholarly attention so
far – not the least because ibre also has an established Turkish meaning (while nobody thinks about
its connection with the ancient Luwian language).
Figure 3. İbre Çeşmesi in Akşehir (Photo: Mustafa Arslan, August 2008).
Further, if one looks at the photographs of Çivril, Çivreller, Çivriller and İbrim (figures 4, 5, 6 and
7), it is easy to see these geographical structures matching the definitions of abra, apra, ebra, ibra.
5
In each case, there is a stream or small river flowing in a narrow bed. Likely, all these names are the
relics of Luwian language, renamed during the Turkish presence in Anatolia after the 13th century.

Towards an historical understanding of the toponymy of the Beyşehir county
While the purpose of this article is not to present any definite analysis of ancient Luwian elements
in the place names of Beyşehir, it is worthwhile to refer to a recent inventory of its toponymy. In the
Beyşehir county, there are 8 towns and 36 villages (Alperen 2001; see also the headings in
Appendix 1). In them, altogether 2 759 place names were collected for mainly documentary
purposes, and without prior intention to trace Luwian elements in currently used vernacular
toponymy. However, the collected material included several clues to the existence of such
historically borrowed elements from this ‘dead’ ancient language. In this respect, the case of
Beyşehir shows how place names are heritages from our ancestors and previous cultures even
though current speakers are not necessarily aware of these connections.
As we interviewed the villagers between 2002–2006, we aimed at a many-sided approach to locally
used place names. In each town and village, we mainly targeted the interviews to local old-timers.
For this purpose, shephards, farmers, and the oldest inhabitants were favoured as name informants.
However, to quarantee that the names mentioned in the discussions were in actual use, village
headmen were also asked to be present in the interviews. At the same time, we tried to make as
much use of uneducated informants as possible. This was because it was observed that educated
people (especially those graduated from high schools) tended to alter the vernacular pronunciation
of names in the interviews. For instance, they insisted on pronouncing the word for spring as pınar,
even though less educated people in many villages often used bunar, munar, muhar or bınar instead
of this standard Turkish word. Obviously, analyzing only the standard spellings and pronunciations
would have not shown the actual diversity of language and toponymy used in the study area.
Further, to interpret the meanings of compiled data, we consulted The Contemporary Turkish
Dictionary in cases in which place names contained unknown words for us as researchers. As the
second step, The Dialectal Dictionary of the Regions of Turkey was resorted to when the above
mentioned source did not provide assistance. As Table 1 evinces, the majority of place names used
7
in the Beyşehir county were references to geographical features, vegetation, family names and their
estates, as well as commemorative toponyms.

2 769 place names
However, and importantly in the context of this article, we could not find any semantic meaning for
some place names from the aforementioned sources (see the subcategory of Unidentified names in
Table 1). While further studies on the subject are needed, it is obvious that at least a substantial
portion of these names are to be explained by the historically multi-layered nature of toponymy in
the Beyşehir county, including the existence of originally Luwian vestiges in it.
With respect to the other ten subcategories in Table 1, some preliminary remarks can be made, too.
Often, the case was so that the informants could give some information about names in accordance
with their established dictionary meanings. However, I became to realize that in many cases the
villagers were not precisely aware of what a place name meant even though it had a dictionary
definition. To provide an example: when my informants talked about Görüklük, they said that they
did not know the meaning of it. At the same time, however, they could mention that the area to
which the name referred reminded a football pitch, or that the cows of the village are gathered there
before heading for grazing pastures. Interestingly, a dictionary check gives the word Görük the
meaning of a herd of animals (especially cows). This example shows that the original meanings of
specific words can be gradually forgotten by new generations. Further, the name-explanations given
by locals were sometimes misleading in etymological terms. For instance, the informants very often
tried to explain unknown terms in place names through connecting these to legendary events, even
though these explanations could be plainly non-sensical. My belief is that these kinds of ‘easy’ folketymological explanations often prevent people to find out the actual historical meanings behind
locally used place names.
Conclusions
As languages are living entities, it is always possible to borrow words and name-elements from
other languages to them. Accordingly, these elements can survive in languages and place names
8
even for centuries. For sure, there exist a range of examples of these kinds of surviving vestigial
names all over the world. In this article I have started to illuminate how the ancient elements of the
now dead Luwian language continue to hide in the current native Turkish language as if they would
belong to that language itself.

Milan Harvalík (Praha, Czech Republic)
Lingual and extra-lingual aspects of development of street
names in the Czech Republic
Introduction
Street nomenclature, also referred to as urbanonyms in Czech onomastic terminology, belongs to a
group of proper names, which is particularly affected by changes during recent years and by extralingual influences (cf. Harvalík 2004, 29–34). This fact is particularly noticeable when we compare
street names from the past to names that are chosen today.
From the oldest times to the 19th century
The oldest street names have been preserved from mediaeval times, when their origin was
conditional to the basic function of the proper name – i.e. naming the streets to differentiate and
distinguish a specific identified object from a group of similar objects (i.e. differentiate one street or
square from other streets and squares in the town). Each such name subsequently enabled clear
identification of the named object and also proper orientation within the town. Spontaneous origin
of the first street names, which was not officially regulated in any manner, variability and only
gradual stabilisation of these names, was typical for the aforementioned period. The street name
was usually inferred from the shape of the street (Krátká ‘Short Street’, Široká ‘Wide Street’,
Lomená ‘Crooked Street’) and their direction towards a specific town (Pražská ‘Prague Street’,
Plzeňská ‘Pilsen Street’), the presence of secular or church buildings near the street or on it
(Klášterní ‘Monastery Street’, Františkánská ‘Franciscan Street’ – named for the Franciscan
monastery), the profession of guild members whose workshops were located on the street (Řeznická
‘Butcher’s Street’, Koželužská ‘Tanner’s Street’), the nationality of the inhabitants (Německá
‘German Street’), in an infrequent number of cases a street could also be named after the owner of a
house or land located there (for instance Kaprova ulice in Prague, which was named after a burgher
from a patrician family and later on the Old Town Mayor and Reeve, Pavel Kapr of Kaprstein (died
1582), who purchased a house here).
New street names – new motivational aspects
During the 19th century other important sources of new names were added to this group of
motivational aspects – names selected for distinguished and famous people from political and social
life and according to important events. Later on, chiefly during the 20th century, names of various
organisations, movements and important days were also used. The street name acquired a new
function in addition to the purely expedient and pragmatic reasons for naming – i.e. in honour or in
dedication of a famous or distinguished individual. The aforementioned trends are not specific to
10
the Czech environment – it can be said that they were also applied in other countries. Apart from the
endeavour to honour the person for whom the street was named in this manner, new motives for
naming were also required by the rapid growth of towns, whose area limited for centuries by the
mediaeval town ramparts was no longer sufficient for the newly established quarters, streets and
squares and other public areas. At the same time as industrial development towns extended far out
beyond their former city limits and new names were needed for the newly established areas.
However, on the contrary to previous periods, these names came from above and followed an
official route. But names of distinguished and famous people were not usually reserved for the
streets created in the suburbs. The importance and position of a person in society should also
correspond to the location of the street, square or waterfront in the town named after him/her.
Consequently a number of old authentic names slowly began to disappear from the centre of town.
The accompanying phenomenon to this trend is also the fact that many street names in honour of a
specific person tend to be subject to the momentary political and ideological orientation of the
government. It is these names that begin to be perceived as inappropriate following social and
political changes in the country, coming under heavy pressure from the public and consequently
these types of names are rapidly replaced. The street nomenclature subsequently appears very
unstable, which is in conflict with its primary function – to provide clear orientation. Furthermore,
as stated by I. Lutterer, “Frequent changes to names result not only in noticeable national economic
damages (forced replacement of street name signs, printing new town plans, manufacture of new
stamps and signboards, transformation of masses of so-called headed paper into waste sheet), but
chiefly in moral loss of faith in the reliability of existing address books and other aids to orientation,
mistrust of the existing nomenclature as a whole and the resulting disrespect towards ideological
principles, on which selection of the name is based” (Lutterer 1988, 126).
The changes of street names in the 20th century
To illustrate, we can use street nomenclature material from several Czech towns to summarise the
most important political changes and reversals during the 20th century that took place in our lands,
which were followed by streets being renamed to a lesser or greater extent; at the same time the
general characteristics of the group of names that the renaming chiefly affects are given. We also
give changes of a non-political aspect, which occurred after municipalities merged or joined city
wholes, when, in the spirit of the principle that applied in the Czech Republic, two identical names
could not appear within the cadastre of one town and duplicate names were replaced with new
names.
The first important turning point occurred in 1918, after the dissolution of Austria-Hungary and
origin of the Czechoslovakia, accompanied by removal of names reflecting the imperial period
(Ferdinandova třída 1 ‘Ferdinand Street’, náměstí Františka Josefa 2 ‘Franz Joseph Square’). This
was followed by loss of the border areas in 1938 and the German occupation in the following years,
when all names evoking the traditions of the First Republic were removed (Masarykovo nábřeží 3
‘Masaryk’s Waterfront’, náměstí 28. října 4 ‘28th October Square’, ulice Legionářů 5 ‘Legionnaire’s

Street’) and representatives of the third Reich were celebrated (Adolf Hitler Platz, Goebbelsstraße).
But these names were spontaneously removed and replaced at the end of the war in 1945.
Post-war development in East and Central Europe led to replacement of one non-democratic regime
with another and so, after the communist party took over government of Czechoslovakia in 1948,
names symbolising the traditions and values of pre-war Czechoslovakia disappeared en mass,
similarly to events in 1939. New names honouring communist statesmen, politicians and ideologists
such as Gottwaldovo náměstí 6 ‘Gottwald’s Square’, Stalinova třída ‘Stalin Street’ replaced the old
names. The reality of the existence of society at that time was frequently reflected in the names
(ulice Budovatelů 7 ‘Maker/Builder Street’, náměstí Pětiletky 8 ‘Five Year Plan Square’).
There was a slight deviation from this trend at the end of the nineteen fifties and the beginning of
the sixties in connection to the discovery of the cult of personality, after which some names were
replaced with socially more acceptable and ideologically less influenced names. This trend
culminated during the so-called Prague Spring (a period of Czechoslovak development in 1968,
which was suppressed by the invasion of the Warsaw Pact armies on 21/08/1968 and so-called
normalisation). We can also find traces of these events in street nomenclature, even though they are
not as noticeable as during previous events.
The most recent changes to street names and names of public areas occurred at the turn of the
nineteen eighties and nineties as a result of political changes that took place in Czechoslovakia in
November 1989. Names linked to the communist regime disappeared and a return to the traditions
of the so-called First Republic (1918–1938) was characteristic during this period, whether the prewar name was renewed (First Republic – Štefánikova 9 , after the war – Urxova 10 , now Štefánikova
again) or not. The reasons why a new name was chosen and the First Republic name was not
renewed chiefly included the fact that the importance of the individual for whom the street was
named before the war was not as great from today’s viewpoint as it had been then. It is also for this
reason that it is felt necessary to choose to name a street for an individual who truly is generally
well known. Apart from this there were also cases when, due to interruption of the continuity of the
street nomenclature, the name used during the First Republic was given to a different street in 1989
than the street that originally bore that name before the 2nd World War.
The summary given above infers at least one important circumstance worthy of consideration. The
longest period of relative stability lasted for approximately twenty years. This means that the
members of any generation experienced at least one, but more frequently three or even four periods,
of extensive renaming during their lives. People oppose the complications in orientation caused by
this, therefore the original name may survive in the local area, or the unofficial name is used (for
instance in the town of Hořovice in Central Bohemia Pražská ulice ‘Prague Street”’ was renamed
Tankistů ‘Tanker’s Street’, however none of the local inhabitants used this name during ordinary
unofficial contact and at the beginning of 1990 the street name was replaced with the original name
of Pražská). The new name is sometimes unable to replace the old name in the subconscious.

How to choose street names?
Under the given circumstances there is no need to emphasise that every potential change in street
names must be thoroughly and carefully considered and all advantages and disadvantages resulting
from the new name must be fairly weighed. This also applies to selection of names for newly
established streets, during which it is necessary to adhere to the relevant regulations. Czech
legislation does not permit streets to be named for people who are still alive, because their
contribution to the state and society has not yet been proven.
An analysis of current Czech urbanonymy (David to appear) indicated that 44% of all street names
in the Czech Republic are in honour of an individual. Comparison material pertaining to selected
towns showed that, in most cases, these names make up more than 55%, in some localities even
70% and in specific cases up to 80% of street names. Names of distinguished and famous
individuals (a total of 78% of all analysed urbanonyms) are used most frequently to honour these
individuals. These names predominantly represent figures of Czech 19th century cultural history
(writers, composers, artists – 53% of all urbanonyms used to honour an individual) and
subsequently important figures of the Czech Reformation (17% of all urbanonyms used to honour
an individual).
Only after an extended period of time has elapsed will it be clear whether the importance of specific
distinguished and famous individuals is ephemeral and whether their name truly deserves to be
recorded for subsequent generations. Care is necessary particularly with respect to names of
politicians and statesmen, while scientists, poets, writers, painters and other artists usually prove
their contributions to the scientific and cultural world during their lives. The names of individuals
must be acceptable to as much of the general public as possible, prejudice and decision making by a
narrow group of people “above us“, which has become standard during recent years, has no place
here. An important person may also be honoured with a memorial plaque and consequently there is
no need to change the established name of a street for this purpose. Furthermore the celebrated
individuals are not greatly honoured if the street named after them is dirty, neglected, with broken
pavements and house facades in disrepair. A sensible solution was reached in Řevnice not far from
Prague, when the town council proposed a street be named after the tennis player Martina
Navrátilová, who started her sports career here, but with respect to the poor technical condition of
the local streets, this plan was abandoned (Harvalík, 1993–1994, 215), not mentioning the fact that
it would not be possible to name a street after M. Navrátilová at present because this would be in
conflict with the principle of not naming a street or other public place for a living person.
The issue of what principles to apply (or should be applied) when naming streets, squares and other
public areas is as serious as the problem of renaming streets in Czech smaller and medium-sized
towns. One of the key requirements when selecting a name seems to be the principle that the name
should have some connection to the named object. This indicates that when naming a street for a
distinguished and famous individual, it is appropriate to select names of local natives and people
having a specific relationship to the given locality (for instance Slavíkova ulice in Hořovice is
named after Josef Slavík /1806–1833/, the violin player and composer, a native of nearby Jince).
This prevents uniformity and stereotyping when selecting a name.
A suitable source that should be utilised to the greatest degree possible is existing minor placenames (such as Na vršku ‘Knoll’, Pod vinicí ‘Below the Vineyard’, U potoka ‘By the Stream’, U
koupaliště ‘By the Swimming Pool’, U pramene ‘By the Spring’, U katovny ‘By the Hangman’s
House’, Pod Dražovkou ‘Below Dražovka’ – i.e. below the Dražovka forest park). The advantages
of this procedure are indisputable. A street name, which is based on the established local name, is
13
familiar to the inhabitants, and this also prevents situations when the official given name and the
unofficial name co-exist. A specific option, limited in practice for understandable reasons, is direct
transformation of the descriptive identification of the object into a noun – the square in Žebrák in
central Bohemia is called Náměstí ‘Square’. However, the aforementioned solution is only possible
if the named object is the only one of its type in the town – otherwise it could be confusing.
Another characteristic property of smaller towns is the connection between a street name (motivated
by the name of a distinguished or famous individual or otherwise) and an object located on it. In
many Czech towns the name Komenského ulice 11 ‘Komenský/Comenius Street’ is frequently given
to a street on which a school is located, in the same manner the above-mentioned Slavíkova ulice in
Hořovice was for many years the location of a primary art school where children learnt to play the
violin, there really is a garden centre in Zahradní ulice ‘Garden Street’ and a Sokol (a fitness
training organisation in the Czech Republic) building in Tyršova 12 ‘Tyrš Street’.
The language aspect is important for selection of urbanonyms, and should simplify their use in
verbal and written communication as much as possible. For these reasons we cannot recommend
names made up of multiple words, particularly including appositional adjuncts (of the type náměstí
Primátora dr. Václava Vacka ‘the Square of Mayor Dr. Václav Vacek’, ulice Mezinárodního dne
dětí ‘International Children’s Day Street – cf. Lutterer 1988, 127); care should also be taken when
selecting names containing prepositions.
Conclusion
The existing development of street nomenclature, both in the Czech Republic and in other countries,
shows that it is necessary to approach the important and serious task of selection of names of
streets, squares or other public spaces, with consideration and responsibility. If not, then past
mistakes are repeated and the chosen names will have to be changed again in several years time.
This undesirable procedure can only be prevented by using those principles that have proven they
are correct and endeavours to make the individual names clear and apposite and the street
nomenclature system for towns stable. The need for inclusion of the linguistic aspect during
selection and standardisation of urbanonyms is clear (fortunately it is now standard that linguists are
usually members of municipal committees for creation of street nomenclature) – their generalpurpose language codification and the related requirement of application of language culture
principles is an essential condition for problem free integration of urbanonyms into standard
communication.

Street names and context
Relation between street names and their contexts
Street names, also known as odonyms, have already been studied from different points of view
taking into account mainly the designation itself. However, these designations do not always exist
quite isolated or free from context as Karl Bühler means (1982, 159). They function in contexts and
it is necessary to analyse the relation between the odonyms and their context. Coseriu (1973, 282–
323; 1980, 68–93) distinguishes three types of speech contexts: the idiomatic, the verbal and the
extra verbal context. The idiomatic context is the language itself. Each speech sign which is realized
in discourse is related to the whole language, to the idiomatic knowledge of the speakers. The
verbal context is that which is said before or after each sign or part of discourse. The words
immediately preceding or following the speech sign constitute the immediate verbal context while
the mediate context can even cover the whole discourse. All non-linguistic circumstances known to
the speaker build up the extra verbal context, which has several subtypes: physical, empirical,
natural, practical, historical and cultural. In this paper I present and exemplify only some aspects of
this subject. The relation existing between the linguistic signs and the contexts is also valid for
odonyms (Mori 2007).
To start with, I deal with the relation between odonyms and their synphysical context according to
K. Bühler (1982, 159) or physical context according to Coseriu (1973, 315), who thinks that this
type of context comprehends everything that can be seen by the participants of the speech act, but if
a sign has been written or printed, its physical context is that on which the linguistic sign is written
or attached. From the practical point of view, to guarantee the identification of the streets, odonyms
are written on signs which constitute their physical context. The street signs are not identical
everywhere. They are made of different materials, mainly of enamelled metal in white, blue, grey or
green, but old signs painted on the walls and others made of marble or of tiles can be seen as well.
Besides, these street signs serve not only to localize urban toponyms but also have historical,
political and aesthetic value. From the typographical aspect, different types of letters are used.
It is also our purpose to observe and analyse the role of the immediate verbal context of the
odonyms, that is to say, the texts which appear on the street signs usually below the odonyms. In
most of the street signs, only the odonym can be seen. The norm is not the same everywhere; it
varies in different countries and even among communities of the same country. For example, in the
city of Münster, Germany, most of the street signs which identify a street only have the identifying
odonym, but one street sign, at one or both ends of the street may have a context.
16
City of Münster, Germany
Due to this fact, it is important to verify what is usually written on the signs and in which language.
The immediate verbal context is related to the idiomatic context and to several subgroups of
external contexts.
Non linguistic signs on street signs
It may happen that other non linguistic signs appear together with the odonym on the same street
sign, for example, diacritic signs such as arrows pointing to the direction or the location of the
street, the city or country flag or emblem, as well as Roman numbers indicating a former division in
blocks and pictures. All of them are immediately related to the street name and complement it. They
tell us in which direction the street runs or where it is, to which city, district, or country it belongs or
the numbers of buildings which are in that part of the street. If pictures appear they hold a
corresponding relation with the odonym.
An unusual type of beautiful street signs is found in the historical centre of some Spanish cities.
Above the odonym, there is a picture which evokes the name of the street by means of a visual
image. Thus, both signs, the pictorial and the linguistic, appear on the same physical context. This
complementary semantic information not only embellishes the street signs but helps to make clear
the motivation of the odonym when it derives from words already out of use.
Examples of different street signs
By means of a selection of examples from several countries I will show some of the variants found
to make the street signs. It is also relevant to observe of which material the street signs have been
made, how they have been designed and where they are placed.
First of all, I will show the simplest ones: those of La Plata, Argentina, where the referent has been
identified not through a linguistic sign but through a numeral.
17
City of La Plata, Argentina
However, when streets are identified by means of odonyms, several ways to make up the street
signs call our attention. They show differences in countries with more than one historical language
and among linguistic zones of the same historical language. Here we can only show a limited
sample of examples. In Buenos Aires, Argentina, the simplest type of street signs with the name of
the street without the generic term calle (‘street’) can be found. Only other generic terms except
calle appear on the street signs.
City of Buenos Aires, Argentina
All odonyms evoke an idiomatic context, in this example, the Spanish language, but they show
special features according to the different linguistic zones of the same historical language. In this
particular sign of the city of Buenos Aires, below the odonym, there are numbers indicating the
numbers of the buildings which are in that part of the street. In Argentina, if the plan of the city is
geometric, each block has 100 meters. This plain street sign in blue is framed by a white line.
Besides, there is a small square shield with one arrow indicating the direction. If the structure of an
odonym has several words, these are distributed in two or more lines.
18
In Spain the norm is not identical to the Argentine even if the same historical language is used. The
generic terms are also written on the street signs but due to the fact that not all generic terms
coincide in different linguistic zones, it may happen that speakers of other regions do not
understand some of them.
In Argentina, usually no biographical information about the person whose name has been given to a
street appears on the street signs. In Práctico Poliza nothing has been added to the odonym either
on the new or on the old street sign. A third tablet of bronze tells us that Poliza was a civil hero.
Other sign posts are used to indicate the direction of the traffic. The following example has the trade
names of those firms which have probably contributed towards the expenses, plus both names of
this well-known central street of Buenos Aires Diagonal Sur and Pte. Julio A. Roca and the
numbers.
19
Sometimes, in Argentina, the odonyms can also be seen together with the number of the houses on
small signs attached to the wall, that is to say, on a new physical context. Due to this repetition, it is
easier to locate the buildings as well as to remember the name of a street.
City of Baradero, Argentina
It also happens that some shops in a certain street are named with a homophone of the odonym. In
this way, this name appears on a new physical context with another function.
In bilingual regions, passers-by are faced by two different street signs, each one in one of the
official languages. For this reason, each one will evoke its idiomatic context, for example, in
Strasbourg, French or the dialect of Alsace.
City of Strasbourg, France
20
Sometimes, in bilingual cities, for example in Valencia, Spain, four or five street signs and sign
posts have been placed near to each other, some of them in Catalan, some others in Spanish. While
the modern ones in blue identify the streets, some old ones still remain, and, finally, other sign posts
in green point out the direction of the traffic.
Verbal contexts of odonyms
The immediate verbal context of an odonym consists of all linguistic signs which give some
information about the odonym and, usually, follows it. This context may appear on the same street
sign together with the odonym as in the following example of Strasbourg.
The odonym, Passage Hans Haug written in capital letters calls our attention. Immediately below it
is the verbal context in small letters except the first one. The text “Conservateur des musées de
Strasbourg de 1920 à 1963. Créateur du musée de l´Ouvre Notre-Dame” explains that Hans Haug
was director of the museums of Strasbourg from 1920 until 1963 and the founder of the museum
l´Oeuvre Notre-Dame. Besides, an arrow points out the way to the passage. The street sign is blue
with white letters and frame.
Some other times, the immediate verbal context is found on a second sign placed below the one
with the odonym as in the city of Weimar, Germany.
21
City of Weimar, Germany
Occasionally, the verbal context is placed on another sign which is not attached to the first one. In
the city of Alicante, Spain, there is a plain street sign with the name Calle San Fernando in Spanish.
In front of it, there are two signs: on one of them is the odonym in Catalan Carrer San Fernando,
and on the other one appears the immediate verbal context giving the motivation of the odonym:
Fernando III El Santo, Valparaíso 1201 – Sevilla, 1252, Rey De Castilla y León Fundó La
Universidad De Salamanca y Las Catedrales de Burgos y Toledo (Ferdinand III, the Saint.
Valparaiso 1201-Sevilla 1252. King of Castile and Leon. He founded the University of Salamanca
and the cathedrals of Burgos and Toledo). Both of them are decorated with a geometric edge.
City of Alicante, Spain
The norm of each country about the use of an immediate verbal context varies. In Argentina, for
example, it is not so frequent. However, in Europe, as some of the designations of the streets are
very old, the immediate verbal context is sometimes indispensable in order to know the motivation
of the odonym. For example, in the city of Münster, Germany, there are different types of
immediate context. Besides the usual ones which provide biographical information about the person
who has been commemorated with an odonym, other contexts explain the etymology of the name or
mention the names that a street has received in the course of time, as in:
22
In Wevelinghofergasse the context “1820 Wevelingsche Gasse. Später Verknüpfung dieses
Anliegernamens mit der von 1369 bis 1773 belegten Bezeichnung Witthoverstegge” explains that in
1820 the name was Wevelingsche Gasse after a family living there. Later, it was combined with
Witthoverstegge documented from 1369 to 1773.
Below the odonym Spiegelturm, the immediate verbal context “turris speculatoris Vermutlich im 11
Jahrhundert errichteter Zugang zum Domburg mit vorgelagertem schmallen Steg über die Aa. Die
Wacht-und Toranlage wurde 1880 abgebrochen” tells us that the name derives from the Latin “turris
speculatoris”, which means ‘watchtower’. It was probably built in the 11th century and it offered
access to the cathedral with a small bridge over the Aa. Watchtower and city gate were taken down
in 1880.
23
Odonyms and extra verbal context
Furthermore, the extra verbal context, the empirical context, contributes to make evident the
motivation of an odonym, above all when it evokes buildings which are in a certain street: e.g.
railway stations, churches, convents and others, e.g. Domplatz.
In the same way, all sorts of unusual or relevant architectural landmarks, e.g. bridges, towers,
columns, entrance gates to the city and others can account for the origin of an odonym. In the
following example, the columns which surround San Pedro square in Rome are obviously the
motivation of Largo Del Colonnato.
24
City of Rome, Italy
Odonyms and their physical context
The physical context of the street names does not look alike in different countries. While some of
the street signs are very plain, others are quite elaborate. Often modern street signs are found near
old ones. In this way, it is possible to compare their development in the course of time. This occurs
mainly in some European countries where the street signs themselves have historical value. In
Valencia, the Spanish street name Calle del Peso de la Harina, written in black on a white
background, is built into the wall itself. In front of it the modern street sign with the city emblem
and the name in Catalan Carrer del Pes de la Farina been placed. They tell us that, in former times,
flour was weighed at this place.
City of Valencia, Spain
In Strasbourg, two modern street signs, one in French and the other one in the dialect of Alsace, are
placed together, but it is interesting to note that they are distinguished by the type of letters as in
Rue du Dome and Müenstergass.
25
While in some Spanish cities, the nomenclature is bilingual, in others Catalan has replaced the
Spanish names. When this happened in Tarragona, the material and shape of the street signs
changed as well, except for some with historical value. The odonyms have been written on plain
street signs made of marble.
Street signs, besides fulfilling their identifying function to localize a street, may also contribute to
embellish the city because of their aesthetic value, as in the beautiful example of the city of
Valencia: Placa de la Mare de Deu.
26
City of Valencia, Spain
This street sign has been made of tiles in a rectangular shape and shows the image of the Virgin
surrounded by pictures of objects which evoke her gifts and of two children kneeling at her feet.
The elaborate letters contrast in dark and light tones. The street sign in Spanish, Plaza de la Virgen,
has the same style and type of letters, but has no image only an emblem.
27
In the city of Madrid, the usual blue street signs with white letters also have the coat of arms of the
city in which a bear tastes the fruit of an arbutus.
City of Madrid, Spain
An unusual example is that of the street sign which bears the name of the famous Argentine tango
composer and singer Carlos Gardel. As background for the odonym we see the overdone decoration
of the wall and the picture of Gardel.
28
Nevertheless, besides the already mentioned street signs of Valencia, from the semantic and
aesthetic point of view, the most interesting and beautiful street signs in our corpus are those of the
old centre of the city of Madrid, made of glazed tiles. A special characteristic of these street signs
lies in the fact that besides the odonym written in black on a white background, there is a picture
which represents the referent of the designation from which the odonym derives. Thus, they have a
double representation: linguistic and pictorial. Although the double representation helps to identify
the referent, some names call our attention because they seem to be strange and quite out of place.
They are old designations whose origin has not been well documented (Gea Ortigas 2006). Not
even the use of two signs reveals the motivation clearly, for example, the street sign of the Calle de
la Abada with the picture of a she rhinoceros is far from allowing us to imagine why this name has
been given to a street. Besides the term abada is seldom used. Gea Ortigas (2006, 11–12) gives two
possible origins for it.
If the odonyms derive from anthroponyms, a portrait of the person honoured plus the dates of birth
and death are given.
29
When names derive from Catholicism, religious images have been painted as can be seen on the
following street signs of the Calle del Carmen and Calle de la Cruz.
Many streets are named after the activities done in former times. The pictorial representation of the
activity can contribute to evoke the motivation of the odonym in those cases in which the activity
either does not exist any more, at least in that place, or when the designation is not used any more at
present.
30
Other names recall topographic characteristics of the place in old times. For example, there was
sand where the beautiful Calle del Arenal exists nowadays (Gea Ortigas 2006, 31–32).
The so well-known Calle Mayor is also twice represented, by the odonym and by a picture of this
main street with buildings on each side of it.
31
Some beautiful examples of the city of Zamora help to document the aesthetic value of these street
signs.
32
City of Zamora, Spain
Influence of odonyms on other fields
Last but not least, we would like to call attention to the fact that the evocative meaning of odonyms
and street signs covers unexpected fields. For example, a homophone of the odonym Lindenstrasse
has been used to name a German TV series. The program starts presenting the street sign with the
name Lindenstrasse so that the relation to the odonym is more than obvious.
Even the stage of a theatre can become the scene of the urban names represented by artists as it
happens in the zarzuela La Gran Vía by Federico Chueca shown in the theatre La Zarzuela of
Madrid. The actors and actresses which personify the street names dance and sing in beautiful
costumes. For example, the actress representing the street Barco has a small ship on her head and
clavel a carnation; Sevilla wears the traditional typical clothes of Seville and the old street of
Sartén, which at present has another name, is ironically represented by a man with a frying-pan as a
hat.
Conclusion
As it has been seen, odonyms fulfill their function in different types of contexts and the street signs
themselves mirror the organization, welfare, politics, history, ways of thinking, handicrafts, fantasy
and tastes of a community.

Newly built fortified cities in New Urbanism style: what kind of
names are the streets being given?
Introduction
New Urbanism is an architectural movement that is to be perceived all over the world. Thousands
of new housing estates are set up in a compact way, and they breath a spirit of nostalgia. The seaside
resort Alys Beach (USA), for instance, was designed after a mediterranian fisher village.
In the Dutch city of Almere, a castle has been duplicated, and the city of Lelystad has a shopping
district in the shape of a a colonial village in the seventh century Indies, called Batavia Stad;
Batavia is the former name of Jakarta.
Historicizing architecture is not a brandnew feature that is typical of our era. At the end of the
nineteenth century, for example, many public buildings were designed in Gothic style. A new
element in the present trend is, that relatively large complexes of dwellings are built in an
historicizing style.
In the Netherlands, recently a special trend is to be seen: three housing estates were recently copied
from old fortified cities, in places where no fortified city has ever been. The complete layout of
these localities aims at corresponding to the layout of the original ones. The inhabitants foster the
illusion that they live in an old, small town that is separated and seemingly protected from the
outside world. At present, there are three of these new housing estates:
Table 1. New housing estates

Formulation of the problem
In the three new housing estates, old villages and towns were architecturally copied. But what about
de street names? The original Dutch cities have a rather characteristical street pattern, with typical
names like:
35
Table 2.Traditional street names in authentic fortified cities

Arsenaal
Bastion
Bolwerk
Kerkstraat
Laan
Markt

Molenstraat
Veste

meaning
‘arsenal’
‘bastion’
‘church Street’
pre-urban name element, indicating a road that was constructed as a
boundary between two lots in an area outside the dike (Rentenaar 1988.
67)
‘market’
‘market’
‘windmill street’
‘moat’
‘rampart’
Now, one might expect that street names in the old cities would be copied-and-pasted into the new
locations. This might even reinforce the illusion of oldness. The old Dutch cities display a very high
degree of uniformity, and we meet more or less the same street names in all of them (Rentenaar
1988, 74). Let us take a look, for instance, at the ancient town of Culemborg that was granted
franchise of a town as early as 1318:
Table 3. Example: Some street names in the oldf city of Culemborg
Street name
Binnen de Wallen
Grote Kerkstraat
Kloosterstraat
Markt
Molenwal
Nieuwstraat
Noorderwal
Oosterwal
Westerwal
Zuiderwal
meaning
‘inside the ramparts’
‘street leading to the large church’
‘monastery/ convent street’
‘market’
‘rampart near the windmill’
‘new street’
‘northern rampart’
‘eastern rampart’
‘western rampart’
‘southern rampart’
The Markt lies like a spider in the layout of streets. One is tempted to expect that names of this
kind, or at least most of them, will appear in the newly built fortified cities, too. Does this
expectance square with the facts?
Although the observation material is (still) scarce, I will make an attempt to analyze the similarities
and differences between streetnames in the new ‘cities’ and the old ones.
36
Method
In order to ascertain if this expectation is correct, a complete list of all street names in the new
‘fortified’ Dutch cities was compared with street names in the old ones. Only those new fortified
cities were taken into account that consist of a street network – however small it may be, with a
specific name for each street. Consequently, the new fortified city called De Vesting, built in the
immediate neighbourhood of the old fortified city of Geertruidenberg, is not taken into
consideration here. De Vesting consists of three ‘bastions’ only, and lacks ‘normal’ street names like
Markt, Wal and the like.
Results
All together, the three new fortified cities count 26 street names. But only four of these exist in the
original fortified cities. That is, in the old town centers. The outskirts or suburbs are left aside here,
of course. What’s more, these three names don’t even belong to the category of names that prevail
in the original fortified cities. They do not include names like Noorderwal or Markt.
There is something else, too, that calls for our attention. It stands out that there is hardly any
resemblance between the names of any of the three new ‘cities’. The only point of similarity is in
the element Veste or Vest (‘moat’), which occurs as well in the ‘cities’ De Veste and in Vestingstad.
The following four streets are concerned:
Table 4. Street names occurring in old as well as in new fortified cities
street name meaning
Lauwerstraat ‘narrow street where tanners were concentrated’ 13
Middellaan
Musket
Plaetse
‘road in the middle, i.e. serving as a boundary between two lots
in an area outside the dike’ (Rentenaar 1988, 67)
‘musket, fusil’
‘central square’
also occurring in
Utrecht
(Lauwersteeg)
Breda
Coevorden
a.o. Montfoort
In the case of Lauwersstraat, the name in the new ‘city’ differs slightly from the one in Utrecht
(Lauwerssteeg). The difference is not essential, however. Historically, it seems that there was hardly
any systematic difference between a street and a steeg, at least not in the fourteenth century; a straat
was somewhat wider than a steeg (‘alley’). For this reason, I consider Lauwerstraat and
Lauwersteeg in this context as exchangeable names. The name De Plaetse (‘the square’)
corresponds with the traditional name of the central square in a few cities in the Netherlands, an in
many villages in the southern part of the country. 14 The archaic orthography Plaetse (in stead of the
actual spelling Plaats) is undoubtedly meant to enhance the nostalgic atmosphere.
13
De Rijk 1998, 38 considers lauwer as an alternative form of looier. The WNT (s.v. Looier (I) mentions only the
orthography louwer.
14
Today, only one (original) fortified city, Montfoort, has this place name. In the past, however, the name occurred in
several cities, including Amsterdam: the Plaats was the former name of the present Dam square (see WNT s..v. Plaats).
For more historic examples, see Rentenaar 1988, 67.
37
Four street names out of 26, that’s a poor harvest. But this does not mean that the remaining 22
street names are totally different from street names occurring in old fortified cities. One of these
new cities, Brandevoort, for example, has two street names which are compositional and which
contain elements that are typical of street names in old fortified cities. This (second) category
counts all together 7 street names (see table 5):
Table 5. Street name s in new ‘fortified’ cities containing elements that also occur in street
names of old cities
Veste ‘moat’
Boekdrukkersveste
Broederwal
Laan door de Veste
Neerwal
Potterbakkersveste
Schrijnwerkersveste
Stratenmakersveste
Wal ‘rampart’
boekdrukkers = printers
broeder = friar
laan = avenue
neer = lower
pottenbakkers = potters
schrijnwerkers = cabinetmakers
stratenmakers = paviour
A third category of names consists of those which do not occur at all in old fortified cities – neither
as a whole, nor partially: 14 names.
Discussion
The similarity between the newly chosen street names and the traditional ones stand out to be very
exceptional. Only 4 out of 26 names in new fortified cities correspond directly with names in the
old cities, i.e. 15%.
Apart from that, there is a more restricted type of similarity, considering that 7 compositional names
have elements that are identical with those in traditional names. Here the percentage is 27.
So, 58% of all these new names does not correspond with traditional names. This does not mean,
however, that these names have no relationship at all with historical cities. Many names of this
category refer to historical phenomena, like guilds, medieval craftsmen, or instruments the old
craftsmen worked with.

steenhouwers = stonecutter, stonemason
stratenmakers = paviour
wevers = weavers
Considering that the craftsmen used to live and work in specific city quarters, like the said tanners
after whom the Lauwerstraat was named, it may seem surprising that so few new street names refer
to existing names of this type. For example, one would expect that a really existing name like
Ververstraat (for a street which was mainly inhabited by textile painters) would appear in the new
cities, too. Astonishingly, it does not. Instead, we see fancy new names like Boekdrukkersveste,
referring to book printers, which do not exist in the old cities.
Schrijverskwartier is an anomalous name, in that the element kwartier never used to function as a
designation of a street. The appellative kwartier meant ‘ward, quarter’. ‘It was common practice
that medieval cities in the Netherlands and Germany were divided into quarters’ (Blok 1883, 47).
Some street names refer to ramparts, or components of them:

There is another interesting aspect, namely the measure in which those streets in the fake cities that
contain traditional elements (like wal) are situated in accordance with their counterparts in real
fortified cities. Well, only three out of 9 street names containing traditional elements are located in
the way we might expect: the Broederwal and the Neerwal are situated on the edge of the fortified
city, and De Plaetse – the square in the middle of the fortified city Veste, just as it should be.
39
The remaining 23 street names might as well have been located at any other place in the respective
towns. Obviously, the street names in the new fortified cities do not serve any more as means of
orientation. But it is also clear that another function has emerged. With their references to the past
they intend to create a nostalgic ambiance. And it can hardly be accidental that some of these new
street names exist in outskirts of many cities and villages too. For example, there is a street named
Weergang (‘a covered wooden gallery on top of the wall around the city’).
Conclusion
The (tentative) conclusion is, that that there is a considerable discrepancy between the new names
and the old ones. The old names had an orientational and descriptive function; they referred to
objects that were visible in public space: the Noorderwal was located on the northern edge of the
built-up area, the Markt was right in the middle. Most of the new names, on the other hand, seem to
