| Summary: | <p><strong>ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LITHUANIAN NAMES WITH <em>žyg-</em> AND ž<em>y-m-</em> STEMS</strong></p><p><em>Summary</em></p><p>The mixing of the Lithuanian compound name <em>Žyg</em>(<em>i</em>)<em>mantas</em> with a Christian name <em>Zigmantas</em> changed first stem of the compound name from <em>žyg</em>- into <em>zyg</em>- and <em>zig</em>-. It is thought, that the Lithuanian name changed, because its structure is similar to the said Christian name. The variated letters <z> and <ž> at the beginning of the word, and also the varying <i> and <y> were factors, that influenced the mixing of different personal names, which was especially prevalent in central and northern Lithuania. In the western part of Lithuania, the personal name <em>Žyg</em>(<em>i</em>)<em>mantas</em> was further shortened to <em>Žýmantas</em> because of intensive processes of word contractions. The stimulus for this shortening could be other personal names which have the stem <em>žy</em>- (cf. <em>Žý-gaila</em>, <em>Žý-gaudas</em>, <em>Žý-gintas</em>). In the eastern part of Lithuania, the compound personal names with the stem <em>žyg</em>- may have already disappeared, but their remains are most probably shown by the one-stemmed names with <em>žyg</em>-. The nicknames that appeared from compound personal names with the stem <em>žyg</em>- experienced less changes than their basic words, which is why with this one-stem names, it seems, one can support that the personal name <em>Zìgmantas </em>became similar to compound names with a Lithuanian origin. Also the one-stem names with <em>žyg-</em> confirm the development of personal name <em>Žy-mantas</em> from the personal name <em>Žyg</em>(<em>i</em>)<em>mantas</em>. </p> |
