Abstract

Following the inventory of onomastic material (largely anthroponymic, during the XIV-XXI centuries and, to a lesser extent, the toponimy of XVIII-XXI centuries), taking into account some historical, religious, cultural, ethnographic arguments, we try to answer to the question whether the bearers of the Carp name are (or not?) the descendants of the ancient tribe of the Carpi.
