Quiemonis and the epichoric anthroponymy of Ig
Abstract
The main focus of the article is the personal name Q(u)iemoni(s), recently discovered on a tombstone found in the Church of sv. Janez Krstnik (St. John the Baptist) in Podkraj. Recognising its profound importance for a better understanding of the autochthonous onomastic tradition of Roman-period Ig, the etymological and epigraphic approach to the name (recognised as a derivative of the Proto-Indo-European root ‘(have a) rest’, probably close in meaning to Latin ‘quiētus’) are coupled with a critical and refined insight into the layered nature of the epichoric anthroponymy.
Keywords: Slovenia, Ig, Podkraj, Roman period, epigraphy, anthroponymy, etymology, methodology
