Rufnamenvarianten im östlichen (ehemals) altsächsischen Sprachgebiet bis 1650

Abstract

Short names and terms of endearment have been part of communication long before the beginning of the written tradition. In order to return the names to their original form, name equations of the type Zacharia = Zechel are essential. At present, an extensive corpus of given names for the area of the eastern (formerly) oldsaxon language area is being compiled. This contribution offers first observations and findings to the short names and terms of endearment.
