Abstract

The naming of places and persons evolved differently among ethnic groups owing to the particular changes in their political and cultural situation. The Ayuuk/Mixe, an aboriginal people of the northeastern mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico, experienced such changes under the influence of the Spanish conquest and the catholic evangelization, from the 16th century up to the present. The administration of the Mexican republic created new conditions of registration. So, the Mixe found themselves obliged to find new names. These changes took place within the youth of the generation the majority of which is still living today. Origin and changes of ethnonyms, toponyms, and personal names are discussed on the basis of references in publications as well as field experiences
