Abstract:

The aim of the article is to present and discuss contemporary street names motivated by transitional (pre-commission) names of places in the so-called Recovered Territories (Ziemie Odzyskane) in Poland. The latter names were often created spontaneously directly after the Second World War by the first settlers to the area, typically existed for a short time only, and usually in a few years gave way to the names finally approved by the Commission for the Determination of Place Names (KUNM). However, not all the hodonyms created from such transitional placenames in the first post-war years have been changed to this day. Thus, these hodonyms constitute a non-obvious relic of spontaneous post-war place naming.
