Emerging as a small village, and currently characterized by neighborhoods that originate in very different times throughout its history, São Paulo is defined as a mosaic. Our specific goal is to present and discuss the main naming models superimposed on the city’s public spaces (particularly roads and bridges) century by century, and arriving to the twenty-first century with the lack of public policies that regard toponymy as an essential tool to build a symbolic bridge between the past and the present.  \nKeywords: urban toponymy, São Paulo toponymy, São Paulo public spaces.  \nThis work1 outlines the toponymic2 situation of a large Brazilian city, São Paulo, which during the colonial period was no more than a small village, and until the nineteenth century could not compete with the most important cities of the Portuguese empire and the colonies of Brazil, such as Rio de Janeiro and Salvador.  \nOne cannot possibly understand the complex names of its public spaces without knowing, at least in general terms, some of the history of this enigmatic city, a fitting expression when we consider that each of its nearly thousand neighborhoods can be as different from one another as if they were small cities bound with one another.  \nThus, we begin our narrative with a brief historical account of the city to illustrate some situations in which the naming changes (occurring in public spaces such as streets and bridges) bear witness to the urban evolution of this metropolis.  \n1 Translated into English by B. V. Young.  \n2 Unlike the Spanish-speaking countries, in Brazil the terms toponomy/toponymic are used to designate the scientific discipline pertaining to the onomastic science, as well as the list of names of a certain location. Thus, if an author occasionally uses the term toponomastic, it is not in order to differentiate between the two aforementioned terms, but merely as a synonym.  \n264•Patricia Carvalhinhos, Adriana Lima  \nFrom the 1554 school to the great metropolis  \nDespite being one of Latin America’s best documented cities since its foundation in the sixteenth century, with the Atas da Câmara Municipal de São Paulo, there are many particulars about the inception of the city and its early years in which there is no general consensus among historians and researchers. The official story, the one we learn at school, declares that the Jesuits, in order to convert the Indians residing in the plateaus of São Paulo, founded a college (which originated the city) in a location selected by the Jesuits. More recent studies, however, offer another version (Campos 2006): Piratininga (which means “a place to dry fish”, referring to the river that left fish on its banks when the waters receded) was a village inhabited by friendly Indians not far from where the college was constructed. The same Piratininga toponym was applied to the stream that ran through the region (some historians say it is the Tamanduateí River, but the discussions leave room for doubts; for additional details cf. Dick 1997), and by 1553 the Jesuits (among which Manuel da Nóbrega is cited) consulted the Indians, who truly knew the land, and they specified the best place to set up the new center. According to Campos it was an ideal place: situated on a hill, it was cut by a crossing that was part of the pre-Columbian path, the almost mythical Peabiru (toponym with no etymological information until the present time)– ergo a prime location and with communication to the coast and inland, toward the South. Moving along Peabiru – a path of almost 1200 km – one reached the lands of Peru, ","cbCaidSfhDsWyFJM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidSfhDsWyFJM","pdf",274684,"English","# From the 1554 school to the great metropolis\n## Early foundations and competing historical narratives\n## The naming of places and urban evolution","[{\"question\":\"What is the document’s main focus regarding São Paulo?\",\"answer\":\"It examines the main naming models used in São Paulo’s public spaces, particularly streets and bridges, and how these reflect the city’s historical evolution.\"},{\"question\":\"When was São Paulo officially founded, and under what context?\",\"answer\":\"On January 25, 1554, São Paulo de Piratininga was officially founded as a small Jesuit college, following an account taught at school and contrasted with newer studies.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the document argue that public policy should treat toponymy as essential?\",\"answer\":\"It connects toponymy to preserving and building a symbolic bridge between the city’s past and present, implying that the twenty-first century still lacks policies supporting this role.\"}]","Names in Brazilian Public Spaces - A Few Words about São Paulo | PDF",1788507410]
