The policy of independent Greece on changing place names as exemplified by Cretan oikonyms
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
Soon after regaining independence (1830), the Greeks undertook efforts to rid their toponymical heritage of foreign names and to replace them with purely Hellenic oikonyms. Established in 1909, the ‘Renaming Committee’ made numerous decisions regarding local names throughout Greece, with 102 changes of place names on the island of Crete alone. In the present study, the author not only discusses the reasons for the elimination of the previous (foreign or ‘barbarous’) toponyms but also analyzes all of the new Cretan oikonyms introduced in 1920–1987 as a result of the planned Hellenization of geographical names.
