Abstract
This article presents the development of the classification of family names in Miljevci starting from the late 17th century, when the first family names were documented in the registers, up to the ones that appear by the end of the 19th century. It shows which family names were extinguished in the meantime, i.e. which have disappeared as a result of family tree extinction or replacement with a new family name, most frequently one previously used as a nickname. The article analyzes the motivational as well as structural distinctiveness and language origin of current family names in Miljevci.
