XI TAGHRIF DWAR ISMIJIET U KUNJOMIJIET FIL-MOSTA


Ismijiet


(p.21) Nafu xi haga dwar l-ismijiet ta’ l-irgiel bejn is-16 u l-65 sena fil-Mosta mil-Listi tad-Dejma u ta’ l-ghases max-xtut ta’ l-1417 u ta’ l-1419- 20.66 Ghalkemm l-ebda isem ma jiddomina ghal kollox fuq l-ohrajn, Xmun (bil-varjazzjonijiet tieghu), Antonio, Gugliermo, Pawlu, Giovanni, Nikol u Tumas, f’dan l-ordni, kienu l-aktar popolari. L-isem Guzepp jew xi varjazzjoni tieghu ma jissemma qatt. Carmel jew Publiju lanqas. X’kien jisimhom il-bniet, m’ghandniex xi nghidu, ma nafux.


(p.22) Fi zmien il-Kavalieri f’pajjizna l-qaghda ta’ l-ismijiet tbiddlet xi ftit. M'ghandniex l-ismijiet kollha tal-Maltin tul il-hakma ta’ 268 sena ta' l-Ordni FMalta. Halli izda niehdu b’mod dettaljat is-snin bejn l-1630 u l-1650, jigifieri xi snin wara li l-Mosta saret parrocca. Fil-Baptizatorum, ir-registru tal-maghmudijiet, insibu 62 isem differenti ghat-tfal subien u 47 isem ghall-bniet. L-aktar isem popolari ghat-tfal subien kien “Domenicus”, imsemmi 75 darba. B’kumbinazzjoni, meta xi snin qabel, fit-3 ta’ Settembru 1576, l-Ghawdxija Inciona Pamisi zzewget certu wiehed Galea mill-Mosta, ismu kien sew sew “Domenico”.67 Il-popolarita ta’ l-isem Duminku fil-Mosta kien x’aktarx minhabba l-qima li l-Mostin kellhom lejn ir-Ruzarju Mqaddes, devozzjoni mxerrda minn San Duminku ta’ Guzman. Fil-parrocca tal-Mosta kien hemm, kif ghedna u ghad hemm, artal u konfratemita ddedikata lill-Madonna tar-Ruzarju.


Isem iehor tat-tfal subien li kienu jhobbu jsemmu l-Mostin, ghallinqas bejn l-1630 u l-1650, kien Gio. Maria (68 darba). F’parrocca ddedikata lill-Madonna, wiehed malajr jifhem ghaliex it-tfal subien ukoll kellhom bicca minn isimhom “Marija”. Imbaghad, b’qabza sewwa ’l isfel fil-popolarita, insibu lil: Johannes (20 darba),68 Gratius (19), Clemens/Clementius (17), Matteus/Matteolus/Matteolo (16), Petrus (14), Jo Paulus (13), Gregorius (12), Josephus/Joseph (12), Paulus (11) u ismijiet ohra anqas popolari. “Josephus”, illi fiz-Zminijiet tan-Nofs kien ghadu ma tfaccax69 u li llum, jew ahjar sa xi ftit snin ilu, tghidx kemm kien popolari, jidher 12-il darba biss. “Xmun” (Simon), l-aktar popolari fl-1419-20, jidher 4 darbiet biss, “Antonio” erba’ darbiet ukoll. “Tumas” baqa’ popolari mhux hazin (imsemmi 10 darbiet), “Nikol” jghib ghal kollox, “Publius” jitfacca darba, u nistghu nibqghu sejrin hekk.

(p.22) Nigu issa ghall-bniet. L-aktar isem popolari, kif wiehed jistenna, kien “Maria” (Mariette, Mariettina) imsemmi 84 darba. Naqra sewwa ’l isfel insibu “Gratia” (59), “Chaterina” (48), “Domenica” (41) u, jerga’ aktar ’1 isfel fil-popolarita “Paulina” (Paula) (20), “Margarita” (18), “Clementia” (16) u “Joanella” (12). Ismijiet ohra kienu anqas popolari. “Speranza”, kif nistghu nahsbu, jidher, imma 6 darbiet biss. Fost l-ismijiet li llum jidhrulna xi ftit strambi nsibu lil Therasmus, Marinus, Blasius, Lucius u Martius ghat-tfal subien u Camilla, Argenta, Galicia, Flaminia u Natalia ghall-bniet.

Kunjomijiet


(p.23) Dwar il-kunjomijiet nistghu nghidu aktar ghaliex ghandna taghrif dettaljat kemm ghas-snin 1630-1650 u kemm ghas-sena 1687, sebgha u tletin sena wara. Harsa lejn Tabella XVIII turi li fl-ghoxrin sena bejn l-1630 u l-1650 hafna mill-kunjomijiet li nsibu f’Malta llum, kienu diga komuni fil-Mosta. Il-kunjom Galea li kien l-aktar popolari fil-Mosta fl-1419-20 u fl-elf erba’ mija u tmeninijiet baqa’ fl-ewwel post tal-popolarita fis-17-il seklu (144 darba).70 Fenech jiehu t-tieni post (106). Bartolo (flimkien ma’ Galea l-aktar popolari fil-Mosta fiz- Zminijiet tan-Nofs) issa jissemma 22 darba. Aktar minnu jissemmew Sammut (80), Borg (50), Sciberras (41), Portelli (40), Agius (39), Vassallo (36) u Busuttil (35). Kunjomijiet ohra llum komuni bhal Camilleri, Buhagiar, Chetcuti u ohrajn jissemmew anqas. Wiehed jiltaqa’ ma’ kunjomijiet rari bhal Giarasco (2), Gaietani (1), Malechi (1), Mellehi (1), Liftech (3), Dolfa (1) u Gilestri (4). Ismijiet Semitici bhal Burasi, Chuni, Felu, Hakem, Heleu, Lukisi, Mahnuq u Muzangar li konna nsibu fil-Mosta fl-1419 u fis-snin ta’ wara, fis-17-il seklu, ghebu ghal kollox.


Jekk issa nigu ghall-kunjomijiet ta’ l-1687 naraw illi xi caqliq zghir sar. Galea baqa’ l-aktar popolari, imsemmi 149 darba, Fenech baqa’ fit-tieni post (100), Sammut fit-tielet post (90), Camilleri tela’ fir-raba’ post (60). Kunjomijiet ohra popolari kienu Borg (55), Bartolo (53), Frendo (42), Agius, Busuttil u Chetcuti (41). Kunjomijiet ohrajn kienu anqas popolari. M’ghandniex xi nghidu, ifiggu kunjomijiet godda bhal, nghidu ahna, Sant,71 German, Mamo, Pace, Dalli, Abela u ohrajn. [Ara Tabella XIX.]


Xi haga ohra dwar il-kunjomijiet. Fil-Mosta, bhal fi rhula mwarrba ohra, ftit li xejn insibu kunjomijiet “barranin”. Nistghu nghidu li dawn insibuhom tista’ tghid kollha fil-Belt Valletta u fit-Tlitt Ibliet fejn ghadd ta’ barranin bdew jigu joqoghdu u ta’ sikwit imorru lura f’pajjizhom. Fl-Isla biss, xejn inqas minn 63 ruh b’kunjom barrani kienu attwalment imnizzlin bhala exteri, sinjal car illi ma kienx ilhom joqoghdu f’Malta.72


Xi kunjomijiet kienu aktar popolari fi rhula partikulari ta’ Malta milli f’ohrajn. Fl-1687 il-kunjom Bartolo nsibuh l-aktar fil-Mosta/ Naxxar, bi 30.3 fil-mija minn Malta kollha; Chetcuti f’Mosta/Qormi (p.24) b‘54.9%; il-kunjom Fenech fil-Mosta kien 17.2% ta' Malta kollha; Frendo nsibuh l-aktar fil-Mosta/Naxxar b’41.6% minn Malta kollha; il-kunjom Galea fil-Mosta kellu percentagg ta’ 23.5 ta’ Malta. Sammut kien l-aktar popolari fil-Mosta/ Naxxar b'percentagg ta’ 43.5. Il-kunjom Sant, illi fil-Mosta fl-1687 insibuh 5 darbiet biss, kien l-aktar popolari f’Hal-Gharghur fejn kienu joqoghdu 30.6 fil-mija tas-“Santijiet" kollha ta’ Malta u Ghawdex.73


Kunjom illum ghalina stramb u li gheb ghal kollox hu De Caci . Fil-Mosta fl-1687 insibu tlieta jew erbgha min-nies b’dan il-kunjom. Dan kien kunjom li deher f’Malla, jew ahjar f'Ghawdex, qabel l-1551, u li ftit wara l-1687 gheb ghal kollox minn pajjizna.74 Dawk ta’ De Caci kienu x’aktarx familji tat-tajjeb. Jidher li l-belt Valletta u t-Tlitt Ibliet kienu l-ahhar imkejjen fejn kunjomijiet antiki f Malta jidhru ghall-ahhar darba.


Nigu issa shal xi kunjomijiet li tbiddlu. Il-kunjom Magro li fl-1687 insibuh imsemmi seba‘ darbiet fil-Mosta, hu skond Wettinger75 il-kunjom “Dejf” li kien spicca mhux minhabba ragunijiet bijologici izda ghaliex nutara Sqallin kienu biddluh f’Magro/Magri fil-bidu tas-16-il seklu u baqa’ maghruf f’din l-ghamla.76 L-istess jista’ jinghad ghall-kunjom Dingli (li fil-Mosta nsibuh imsemmi darbtejn fl-1630-50 u sitt darbiet fl-1687) li qabel kien “Dinkili”. Gafa kien Cafar, Galdes kien Caldes, Cutajar kien Gutaye u Zghendo kien Sichendo, izda dawn l-ahhar tliet kunjomijiet ma nsibuhomx fil-Mosta fis-17-il seklu.77 Xi kunjomijiet ohra li ghaddew minn metamorfosi shiha huma Dimech u Deguara. Dimech insibuh imnizzel fil-Mosta darba biss bejn l-1630- 1650. L-ewwel ghamla tieghu fl-1419-20 hu bhala “Dimag”, maghruf kemm bhala kunjom u kemm bhala isem ta’ post fil-Mosta. Fl-erba’ mija u tmeninijiet insibuh bhala Dumach u dejjem insibuh, mhux fil-Mosta kif wiehed jistenna izda f’Haz-Zebbug. Fis-snin bikrin tas-16-il seklu Dimag/Dumach inbidel sewwa; sar Zimech u mbaghad Dimech u minn Haz-Zebbug xtered fl-inhawi tar-Rabat, il-Mosta u n-Naxxar.78 Deguara hu kunjom iehor interessanti li fil-Mosta nsibuh imnizzel 9 darbiet fl-1630-50 u 20 darba ([De]Guara) fl-1687. Dan tnissel minn Deguevara u nsibuh ukoll bhala Guevara, Guivara, Digwara ecc.79 Il-kunjom Grech/Grec li fil-Mosta niltaqghu mieghu 14-il darba fl-1630- 50 u 19-il darba fl-1687 insibuh bhala Grecu jew Gregu fl-1419 u bhala Greg/Grec/Grech aktar tard.


(p.25) Kunjom interessanti iehor hu “Cappello”. Bejn l-1630-50 insibu tmienja min-nies b’dan il-kunjom fil-Mosta. Fl-1687 insibu fil-gzejjer Maltin 23 ruh b’dan l-isem, sittax minnhom joqoghdu fil-Mosta. L-ewwel darba li nisimghu bih kien fil-Mosta, hamsin sena qabel, fl-1637.80


L-ahhar kelma nhalluha ghall-kunjom “Cumbo”. Dan niltaqghu mieghu mhux hazin fil-hmistax-il seklu. Fil-Lista tad-Dejma ta’ l-1419-20 insibu liI “Ximuni Cumbo” f“Casali Calleya et Musta”.81 Jacobu Cumbo niltaqghu mieghu kemm fl-istess Lista tad-Dejma u kemm fil-lista ta’ ghassiesa max-xtut (1419), meta naqraw illi kellu jaghmel l-ghassa fil-“guardia hayn tufaha”.82 Fl-elf erba’ mija u tmeninijiet niltaqghu ma’ aktar “Cumbo”. Dal-kunjom, imbaghad, flok zdied naqas. Bejn l-1630 u l-1650 niltaqghu ma’ tlieta biss b’dan l-isem fil-Mosta: Petruccia, Antonina, il-qabla tar-rahal u Gratian.83 Fl-1687 ma jidher xejn. Jista’ jkun illi dan il-kunjom beda jnin u ntemm fil-Mosta minhabba l-grajja ta’ swied il-qalb ta’ l-1526 meta l-familja Cumbo u mijiet ta’ Mostin ohra kellhom jghaddu minn xiex ghaddew.
