Nazwy o cechach polskich w historycznej ziemi lwowskiej

Abstrakt

The Polish names in the toponymic system of the Lvov territory are above all results of the dynamic Polish colonisation process mainly from the second half of the fourteenth century up to the end of the sixteenth century. In the second half of the fourteenth century there are ten names, in the fifteenth century – 46 names, in the sixteenth century – 67, in the seventeenth century – one name, in the eighteenth century – two names, in the nineteenth century – nine names, in the twentieth century – one name. From 1945 onwards, that is, in the period of Soviet Russia, we dealt with a mass disappearance of Polish names. In the time of communism the natural link of the Lvov territory and Poland was broken. We observe the process of de-Polonisation of the onomastic map of this region.
