Anthroponomy can reveal important data about the history of a place and be influenced by historical moments. In the city of Palotina, in the western region of Paraná, there was, in the 1970s, a migratory movement, named Era da Hortelã, which contributed significantly to the consolidation of local anthroponomy. Until then, the region was colonized by southerners, immigrants from the southern region of the country, but with the production of mint, there was an immigration of people who were from other regions of Brazil other than the southern region to work in cultivation of the herb. The question then arises: is there a change in the anthroponomical system resulting from this migratory movement? With this question and based on the studies of Vescovi (2015; 2016), it is intended to present information regarding the surnames and first names existing in the place before and after this moment, considering the studies by Seide (2013a, 2013b, 2013c) about traditional first names and fads. The analysis made shows that the history of a community can be verified through anthroponomical data, since it was possible to correlate anthroponomical changes, both in etymological scope and in the appearance of other first names not present until then, with information about the history of the city.
