Abstract: The article is a case study of Jana Kochanowskiego Street in Warsaw. The starting point is the statement on the late naming of the street with the name of the most important Polish pre-romantic poet in the capital city of Poland (in comparison to naming streets after minor poets). The author presents the circumstances that led to this situation and recreates the contexts accompanying the belated inclusion of Jan Kochanowski in the canon of writers who were preferred eponyms of streets in the capital of Poland after WWI. Next, he tries to compare Kochanowskiego Street in Warsaw with Kochanowskiego Streets in other large cities of Poland.

Key words: street names, public space, Jan Kochanowski, street eponyms, interwar period, Warsaw, cultural heritage of the Partitions period

Abstract: This article focuses on the street naming in the Radość neighbourhood in the Wawer district of Warsaw. It draws attention to a very specific timing of naming streets in this part of the capital. The names result from the changes introduced as late as the second half of the 20th century. 82 contemporary names, some of them changed, are semantically analysed.

Key words: urbanonyms, street names, Warsaw, Wawer, Radość

Abstract: The study aims to determine the degree of disproportion in numbers between male and female patrons of the streets of Polish large cities. It provides answers to the question of how many streets in cities with county rights were named after male and female historical figures. The research sample includes all 66 cities and towns with county rights. Moreover, on the basis of the collected data, a pantheon of female patrons was prepared. Data from the TERYT register was manually marked in a spreadsheet in order to count patrons disaggregated by gender. The study concluded that there is a high degree of numerical disproportion between female and male street patrons in Polish cities. Among historical figures commemorated in street names, women constitute between 3.52% and 19.86%. The most common patrons are Maria Konopnicka, Maria Skłodowska-Curie and Eliza Orzeszkowa.

Key words: critical toponymy, street patrons, cities with county rights, feminonyms, masculinonyms

Co skrywają ulice w centrum Reykjavíku? O gniazdach toponimicznych w stolicy Islandii

What’s hidden in the street names in the centre of Reykjavík? The toponymic nests in the capital city of Iceland

Abstract: The aim of this article is to collect and describe certain toponymic nests in the city of Reykjavík. Icelandic hodonyms are not a topic that is eagerly taken up by onomasticians, hence the need to organize knowledge about them. The author explains etymologies of the street names belonging to three toponymic nests, i.e. names inspired by the names of Norse gods, names inspired by the names of the heroes from the Old Norse sagas, and finally names connected to the sea motive. The semantic analysis has shown that there is no coincidence in the naming pattern in the centre of Reykjavík.

Key words: urbanonymy, hodonyms, street names, Reykjavík, Iceland
