Main Article Content
Abstract
In the first part of this article I will address general questions regarding the linguistic standardization of personal names, given their significance in terms of the lexicon. In addition, criteria regulating their legal use and modification will be considered. In the second part, these issues are examined in terms of the names Anxelo/Anxela, and the different forms that they have generated over time. Their history in Galicia is reviewed, from their emergence during the seventeenth century, the existence of authentic Galician forms and the tendency to Castilianise them in official written uses, to their rapid consolidation and the emergence of new forms during the twentieth century. The historical data employed in this article are sourced mainly from the land registries (catastros) of Ensenada for the eighteenth century, and from the 2002 census of the Statistical National Institute (INE-Madrid) for the twentieth century. Finally, the standard forms are propounded by drawing upon the different forms which occurred in the several sources.
