dc.description.abstractThe author draws attention to the ethnonym Musalertsi (son of, native of Musa Ler) its origins, and the reasons why the Musa Ler population called itself such. He analyses the evolution of the ethnonym based on available literary sources. The paper argues that the self-naming of this Armenian subgroup was a result of the development of an identity during the Genocide years and underlines the importance of this self-naming process. Furthermore, it discusses how this self-naming proces was mostly related to the public response and events that this subgroup faced during the Genocide, as well as their epic transformation in the memory of this subgroup. The author examines the different ethnonyms the subgroup gave to itself, like Kistineg (meaning Christian, Christian language). He underlines the fact that not a single source perceived the natives as a unified group, and that only after the defensive fightings were they named Svediatsi (people of Svedia), Sevediahay (Armenians of Svedia). These were transformed into Musalertsi and gained further legitimacy and popularity due to Frants Werfel's novel, The Forty Days of Musa Dagh, published in 1933.
