Abstract

A name is one of the essential elements of identity. The choice of a name reflects personal as well as ethnic or religious identity. It is a reflection of individual preferences, cultural traditions and family ties, the social environment. These processes are also evident in a minority environment. The subject of interest of this study are strategies for granting names in Muslim families living in Slovakia. Our aim is to find out how and why parents choose names for their children. We will try to identify the role of individual feelings of parents as they are influenced by customary traditions of the countries from which the child’s parents come. We will be interested in the extent to which the fact that the partners live in Slovakia (mostly a Christian country with a minimal proportion of the Muslim population) contributes to the decision on the name, how it is determined by the existing public opinion about foreigners and Muslims. We present findings of a questionnaire survey with Muslims living in Slovakia or their partners. The participants were mainly people living in ethnically or religiously mixed partnerships, partly homogeneous partnerships or people who lived without a partner.

穆罕默德还是亚当?
名字是身份的基本要素之一。名字的选择既反映了个人身份,也反映了种族或宗教身份。它反映了个人偏好、文化传统和家庭关系以及社会环境。这些过程在少数民族环境中也很明显。本研究的主题是为居住在斯洛伐克的穆斯林家庭取名的策略。我们的目的是找出父母如何以及为什么给孩子取名字。我们将努力确定父母的个人感情的作用,因为他们受到孩子父母来自的国家的习俗传统的影响。我们感兴趣的是,合作伙伴居住在斯洛伐克(主要是基督教国家,穆斯林人口比例极低),这在多大程度上影响了名称的决定,以及现有的关于外国人和穆斯林的公众舆论如何决定。我们提出对居住在斯洛伐克的穆斯林或其伴侣进行问卷调查的结果。参与者主要是生活在种族或宗教混合的伙伴关系中的人,部分同质的伙伴关系或没有伴侣的人。
