Janko of Czarnków Chronicle has been subject to the onomastic analysis. In
consequence, 324 naming formations have been excerpted.
The first onimic category distinguished in Chronicle are monomial formations. In the oldest source materials we may observe that apart from a single
proper noun, there appear different kinds of notions allowing more precise
characteristic. Z. Kowalik-Kaleta named them individual terms. There was
a tendency to group them directly after a single proper noun. This is how definite descriptions originated. Elaborated definite descriptions were avoided
and abbreviated forms were preferable. Locative prepositional phrases originated
from locative descriptions. Patronymic descriptions transformed into synthetic
forms with nominal suffixes: -ic, -icz, -owic, -owicz, -ek, -ka, -ko, -ik, -yk, -czyk,
-ec, -ak, -czak, -ę, -ęta. Analytical locative prepositional phrases transformed into
synthetic adjectival forms into -ski, -sky.
Moreover, in Janko of Czarnków Chronicle we may distinguish such onimic
categories as anthroponomical appelativa and proto names of foreign origin.
On the basis of the analyzed linguistic material it should be concluded that
medieval Polish language used different onimic categories.
