Old and new in the toponymy of Săbăoani commune (Neamţ county)

Starting from materials obtained through direct surveys carried out in the area and from published or unpublished documents, we observe that some very old place names are still in use, even in the territory of the recently established Traian village. We also note numerous new place names which illustrate changes of realities in this region. In addition, by speaking about a community dominated by Roman Catholic Christians (Csangos), we will exemplify some cases of bilingualism on the toponymic level.
