Abstract
În nomenclatorul onomastic actual, redescoperim nume de familie care
specifică anumite particularități individuale ale persoanei, trăsături ce se referă la
aspectul fizic sau comportamental al individului. Acestea sunt nume care nu menesc, ci
descriu, constată, definesc. Categoria dată include și nume ce indică culori: Albu, Bălan,
Belu, Căruntu, Cernea, Galbenu, Laiu, Murg, Negru, Ocheșel, Roșca, Roșu, Verdeș etc.
Practica atribuirii sau poreclirea cu astfel de nume este un fenomen universal.
În cadrul antroponimiei, prin onimizare, adjectivele substantivizate cromatice devin
nume proprii, iar trecerea lor în subclasa numelor proprii se manifestă ca o reconversiune,
cu implicaţii gramaticale specifice. Numele de familii care au la bază un termen cromatic
sunt destul de numeroase, iar albul, culoare asociată cu perfecțiunea, binele, onestitatea,
curățenia etc., se impune.
In the current onomastic nomenclature, we rediscover surnames that specify certain individual particularities of the person, traits that refer to the physical or behavioral appearance of the individual. These are names that do not predict, but describe, ascertain, define. The given category also includes names that indicate colors: Albu, Bălan, Belu, Căruntu, Cernea, Galbenu, Laiu, Murg, Negru, Ocheșel, Roșca, Roșu, Verdeș etc. The practice of assigning or nicknaming with such names is a universal phenomenon. Within anthroponymy, through onimization, chromatic substantivized adjectives become proper names, and their passage into the subclass of proper names manifests itself as a reconversion, with specific grammatical implications. Family names based on a chromatic term are quite numerous, and white, a color associated with perfection, goodness, honesty, cleanliness, etc., prevails.
