Abstract
The paper analyses 239 family names from Imotski from the anthroponomastic point of view. The first part of the paper provides basic historical and geographic data as well as historical attestations, data on migration direction and statistical data. The body of the paper analyzes family names of Imotska krajina from a word-formation and motivational point of view. In Imotski family names different language layers are reflected, and the data shows that the definition of family names as a permanent, inherited and unchangeable category is only conditional as in the last 300 years almost every fourth family name has been changed.
