This article deals with problems related to the tradition of name
evidences in written documents. Those written sources functioning as mediating
medium for the variant types of the names, have a specific context of
origin and tradition, which makes its use for the etymological derivation
problematic.
Taking the example of the written evidences cited in the German
Book of Water Names edited by Albrecht Greule for the rivers Milde, Biese
and Aland, the importance of a source-critical analysis for every single document
used there shall be shown. The aim of the study is not only to provide
new insights into the etymological derivation of the river names in the Altmark,
but also to illustrate the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in
onomatology.
