Abstract (may include machine translation)

The paper explores the expansion of the Romanian national paradigm among the peasantry of post-1867 Hungary through naming patterns and the perception of personal names, formulating hypotheses about some of the features of peasant nationalism. Three groups of sources are put to use. Two prosopographical databases are used to reconstruct the social, regional, and confessional patterns of the expansion of the so-called Latinized, national Christian names, to identify the traces of the historical imagination behind the toponymical anecdotes and popular etymologies sent in response to the questionnaire of
Frigyes Pesty, and to analyze the reactions of village municipalities to the changes of place names that were proposed in the wake of the Place Name Act of 1898.
