Abstract
The author refers to sources in the Croatian-Slavonian Military Border in which the ethnic of the man from Carniola was relatively common. In case of the people from Carniola in the Slavonian MilitaryBorder, there is a possibility that this ethnic might have included the immigrants from various border-lands. It is important to note that the land of Styria in its later scope covered the area of the three former border-lands: Savinja, Podravina and Carantania. Since from all of the lands of inner Austria the Kingdom of Slavonia was primarily inhabited by inhabitants from Styria, it could be possible that the immigrants called »Kranjci«(the people from Carniola) could be, at least partly, of Styrian origin. In the context of this contemplation one should not exclude the possibility that some of the people called »Kranjci« are in fact »returnees« or descendants of former immigrants from these areas, although this is almost impossible to prove. In any case, the paper represents a contribution to further discussions about Croatian-Slovene relations in the Early Modern Period.
