About event
What is a surname, why do we have it, where did it come from, what do they reveal...
Professor emeritus of Masaryk University prof. In his lecture, Rudolf Šrámek will present a synthesis of his research on the Brno Jewish cemetery. From a general introduction about the origin of surnames, the audience will get to the specificity of surnames among Jews with the lecturer and will learn about the peculiarities of these surnames, which are actually traces of their lives and culture.
Prof. Šrámek, also known for his many years of research at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, is an important linguist, a leading representative of onomastics - the science dealing with the study of proper names, including their origin, development, nature and functions. This discipline covers not only personal names, but also the names of places, animals and plants.
