Abstract
Ancestry/family from the island of Rab located near the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea (Croatia) is particularly famous for some of its renowned individuals as leaders in Catholic and Anglican churches, politicians, diplomats, soldiers, writers, scientists etc. In world relations, the famous representatives are Marko Antun (16th- 17th century) and John Owen (19th century). All ancestries/families can also be found at other islands, in Dalmatia. There are theories they belong to Italian and Croatian ancestry, that they are ancestors of Krk dukes Frangipanes, i. e. that they are ancient Romans and then Italians, Croats from Croatia and Bosnia. Their names and surnames are in accordance with such theories. The article tries to answer a lot of issues relating to genealogy and onomasiology
Keywords
