Abstract

By basing it on archival sources this paper deals with the 18th c. anthroponomy at Selca on the island of Brač found on only partly preserved notarial documents on the register of births, marriages and deaths. As he quarry at Selca was opened eastern part of the island. The surnames were wxclusively of Croatian origin the characteristics of which were the use of double surnames because a great number of families had the same surnames. In order to differentiate themn along with the surname of the head of the family that of his wife’s was added. In the 19th c. the double surnames disappeared eventually. The families ramified using only one surname either that of the male or female branch. Due to marriages during the 18th c. Selca was colonized by people from other Brač places and from those on the continent but also by foreigners who were mostly stone-masons. Some of them married to the local girls settled down permanently changing by degrees their surname in the spirit of the Croatian idiom (Standelberg called Stambucco – Štambuk, Scarpazza – Škrpaca).
