About Onoma

Onoma, the title of which is the Greek word for ‘name’, is the official peer-reviewed journal of ICOS, published annually. Founded in 1950, Onoma (ISSN: 0078-463X; e-ISSN: 1783-1644) is the oldest journal in the field of onomastics and occupies a central role in the discipline. Until vol. 32 (1995), its content mainly comprised current international onomastic bibliographies. Since that issue, Onoma has been inviting topical research reports as well as articles and reviews of general, theoretical and historical interest concerning all areas of scholarly name research. The journal is published by and on behalf of the International Council of Onomastic Sciences (ICOS), the most broadly based organization in the field of onomastics. Membership of ICOS is not required for authors wishing to publish in Onoma. It accepts studies written in English, French, and German, which are double-blind peer-reviewed, following the highest standards of current international practice.

• Volume 57 (2022) West Slavic Onomastics (guest-editors: Urszula Bijak, Milan Harvalík, Iveta Valentová)
• Volume 58 (2023) Place Names as Cultural Heritage (guest-editor: Peter Jordan)
