The Castilian Origins of the Epithet Mio Cid.
In this paper I argue that the Mio Cid epithet, most widely associated with the Castilian warrior exile Rodrigo Díaz and traditionally believed to have been bestowed upon him by Arabic speakers, is in fact an autochthonous Castilian formula closely related to equivalent hybrid formulas such as Mi An...

Close attention to the charters of the Northern Meseta allows us to flesh out a small but significant corpus of such references and also observe such names being used in a second idiosyncratic way as generic witnesses. By framing the Mio Cid usage within this broader onomastic tradition, a more solid geography and chronology emerge and these in turn indicate a relatively widespread use of such terms in late eleventh and early twelfth-century Castile, initially in aristocratic circles, before the epithets morphed into personal names. En este trabajo sugerimos que el epíteto Mio Cid , generalmente asociado con el exiliado Rodrigo Díaz y tradicionalmente considerado acuñado por los andalusíes, es en realidad una fórmula castellana, estrechamente asociada con combinaciones equivalentes como Mi Anaya o Mi Echa. El análisis de las colecciones diplomáticas de la Meseta Norte permite la construcción de un pequeño pero significativo dossier de referencias de este tipo, y además se observa que estos nombres vuelven a coincidir en su empleo como testigos genéricos. Situando Mio Cid dentro de este marco onomástico más amplio nos permite consolidar tanto la cronología como la geografía del fenómeno, y así se revela un uso extendido en Castilla a finales del siglo XI y principios del siglo XII, inicialmente como epítetos honoríficos aristocráticos, antes de transformarse en nombres propios de persona a final de dicho siglo. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Bulletin of Hispanic Studies (1475-3839) is published by Liverpool University Press, and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without Liverpool University Press's express written copyright permission.
