The paper deals with the names of congregations (churches) of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church (CHC). This topic has not yet been covered onomastically, so this article is the first contribution to the description of the onymy of the CHC congregations. In classification according to the motivation of naming, it is possible to distinguish objects named after Jan Hus and according to other personalities. Names taken from other churches are marginal and so are names based on the general Christian tradition. Church service objects in the appellative component of the denomination typically have the word sbor (congregation). Other words in the appellative component are modlitebna (prayer room), kaple (chapel), or kostel (church). We can divide the basic types of name structures: the most common is Someone’s Something (for example, Husův sbor /Hus’s Congregation/) and Something Someone’s (e.g., sbor Tůmy Přeloučského /the congregation of Tůma Přeloučský/), other types are marginal. The most common name is Husův sbor (the Hus’s Congregation); this designation is appellativized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
