| (P724)?Digest: | The research project “Digital Dictionary of Surnames in Germany” (Digitales Familiennamenwörterbuch Deutschlands (DFD)) explores the current inventory of surnames in Germany and makes the findings easily accessible to users in digital form. For the first time, all surnames currently found in Germany – including names from foreign languages – are to be lexicographically recorded, mapped and etymologized (taking into account recent insights into the names’ geographical distribution). The new surname dictionary’s main objectives are: - consolidation of differing analyses in the available literature on surnames, - specification of previous analyses and amendment with additional information, - re-evaluation of previous analyses, i.e. elimination or critical assessment of improbable/implausible interpretations, - first-time inclusion of names that are variants of more frequent (and already evaluated) ones and don’t require detailed analysis, - first-time analysis of surnames that are not included in any of the trans-regional surname dictionaries, - new analysis of surnames with previously incorrect interpretations. |
