The thesis adopted in the article concerns<br />names as carriers of values that created the cultural identity of Bambers. The analysis<br />of the source material shows that the choice of names in this group was determined by the<br />Catholic model, based on the recognition of the Catholic religion and Catholic faith as an<br />authority in all social matters. The names of Bambers were a reflection of their Catholic<br />tradition and the cultural stability. The article also focuses on adaptation strategies that allowed this small ethno-cultural group to maintain a balance in the new environment<br />between the memory of their own roots and integration</p>}, number={2}, journal={Prace Językoznawcze}, author={Sarnowska-Giefing, Irena}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={169–186} }
