Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Osobné meno Zobor je doložené v maďarskej mennej tradícii. Onomastická literatúra predpokladá, že ho kronikár Anonymus vytvoril z názvu vrchu Zobor pri Nitre. Slovanský základ tohto názvu má konkurenčné výklady: súvislosť so zhromaždením či kláštorom alebo so slovom zubor. Význam osobného mena preto nemožno jednoznačne určiť.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Osobné meno a predpokladaný vznik z názvu vrchu: onomastická štúdia v zborníku venovanom Ildikó Vančo, s. 29–31. Výklad názvu vrchu zo slova zubor: Slovenská reč, 1988, č. 6. Etymologické alternatívy sa týkajú predovšetkým názvu vrchu. Heslo v príručke Milana Majtána a Mateja Považaja Vyberte si meno pre svoje dieťa nebolo priamo overené. Skloňovanie je odvodené podľa slovenského vzoru chlap. Doložené obľúbené slovenské zdrobneniny sa nepodarilo overiť, preto je ich pole prázdne.
