Abstract

The author analyzes female first names, family names as well as name formulas by which women were identified in the lists or house owners in canonical visitations or the 17th and 18th century. She concludes that women rarely appear in the role or house owners and can acquire this role only as widows.
The most common form or identification is a two element formula of the type Relicta + last name (type Relicta Stefokovicza). As the first name is not an obligatory constituent or identification formulas, only around twenty female first names have been attested in these lists. They are mostly saints' names of the Latin origin among which the name Catharina appears most often. Female forms or last names were common. They were formed by suffixes -ica (Cziglaricza), -ka (Babichka) , -ina (Laptusina) and -ollica (Koszovicza).
