Abstract

This article is committed to the analysis of historical anthroponymic attestations of personal names in the 16th century western Croatian estates of Susedgrad and Stubica, an area which is situated north and west of Mount Medvednica, in the basin of the Sava, Sutla, and Krapina rivers. The authors have conducted a thorough historical and onomastic analysis of the anthroponymic material transcribed from a 1597 church tithe registry. The main goals of the article are to describe the anthroponymic formulas and features of the repertoire of personal names at the end of the 16th century. Special attention was dedicated to the historical context in which the document was created. The analysis shows, as was expected, that some features of social and economical relations are reflected in the structure of anthroponymic formulas. These relations are also the main reason why male anthroponymic formulas are more systematically recorded and generally more developed.
