Abstract


The Trogir registers of births from 16th century and deaths from 17th century reveal that the Croatian proper names were written using the Italian orthography, which was rather infrequent in other Dalmatian towns. When this form of spelling the proper names is compared with the oldesty written sources in Trogir it is evident that it was used there for almost four centuries. Only when it was tried to assimilate the inhabitansts on the eastern Adriatic coast by the beginning of 18th century the Venetian rule decreed that the names be spelt in the original Italian form. This decree remained valid until the seventies of 19th century when the Registers of Births, Marriages and Deaths started to be spelt in the Croatian language.
