Traditio et innovatio nominum

The libros de repartimiento are a type of text that has an enormous value to understand the historical moment that gave rise to the process of the formation of the toponymy as we know it today in the areas incorporated to the Spanish speaking territory in different moments of the historical process traditionally known as Reconquista. A text of this type exists also for the Sevillian municipality of Écija, although this one presents some peculiarities that differentiate it from other repartimientos. In this study we analyze in detail the toponymy contained in the medieval text and reconstruct the context in which the territory was recognized by the persons in charge of the distribution of the lands. The conclusions that we extract are of great interest to know the process of creation of names based on Castilian and the context of linguistic contact that allowed the transmission of names from one stratum to another.
