Litewski rdzeń var- w nazwach terenowych Sokólszczyzny

Journal Title: Acta Neophilologica - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 0

Abstract

This article describes the etymology of the Sokółka district’s microtoponyms containing the word stem var-. In Lithuanian source literature, names with the var- component are connected with hydrographic elements. The author directs attention to a borderland nature of the analyzed region. The Sokółka district is located in the central part of Podlaskie Voivodeship, next to the Belarusian border. Since time immemorial, it has been a place where Baltic and Slavonic peoples came into contact with Eastern and Western Slavs. Ethnically and linguistically diversified settlement processes concerning the discussed region are reflected in place names. Not only Polish place names, but also those of East Slavic and Baltic origins can be found there.
