Abstract
What is the confession of geographic names?
In the two lectures, originally delivered in the programme entitled Édes anyanyelvünk [Our sweet mother tongue] on Kossuth radio, the author discusses how geographical names can be utilized in researching local as well as general history. The first lecture discovers the origins of place names found in Western Hungary; the second lecture presents the names of Kisújszállás located in the Great Hungarian Plain.
