Abstract

On the origins of the name Palau scholars have different opinions but everyone thinks it’s a foreign word. Someone thinks it’s a thalassonim formed during the Catalan-Spanish period while others are convinced that it is a Catalan word and there are also those who believe that it is a Ligurian term. The article shows that the examination of the historical place names, and in particular of the hydronyms, indicates conversely that the name was formed as a direct local development of a Latin word.

Keywords: opinions; historical place names; hydronims; local development.
