Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of 300 toponymic types in the village of Kotezi in the northeastern part of Popovo on the basis of field work and a review of historical data. In the first part of the paper, the geographical location of the village and a short historical overview are given. In the second part of the paper, demographic conditions are analyzed. In the third part, the etymology of the oikonym Kotezi is explained, and in the fourth part, other village toponyms are classified according to their meaning. In the fifth part of the paper, toponyms are divided according to language origin. From the rich topono-mastic data, the toponyms Puč and Skorata are analyzed as the most likely Romance remnants. In the toponymy, the disused appellatives of slavic origin bit (compare Czech byt 'appartement') and hrž (compare kajkavian hrž 'rye') are found. The most represented adstrate layer is Turkish, and Venetian traces are found as well.
