Meals culture in Perm region in the XVI - XVIII centuries (according to lexical and onomastic data of Perm written records). Article 1

The author examines names of phytogenic foodstuffs and dishes, as well as nicknames and family names originating from such names in written records of Perm Region of the XVI - early XVII centuries. Lexis and onomatology give evidence to the continuity of the nutrition culture of the Russian North and on the preservation of the main traditions of this culture in Perm Region from XVI to the XX century, and to linguistic and cultural links between Russians and Komi Permians. The results of the research are complemented by ethnographic observations made in Perm region in the XIX-XX centuries and are applicable both for ethnography and the history of the Russian language.
