Anthroponymy in the book Hrvatske pučke popijevke iz Međumurja

Anđela Frančić ; Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The analysis of anthroponyms from Međimurje folk songs published in the book Hrvatske pučke popijevke iz Međimurja (Croatian folk songs from Međimurje, Zagreb, 1924) by Vinko Žganec has shown that personal names are the most frequent anthroponymic category. Most often they appear independently and mostly in derived or shortened forms, and less frequently as an element in the family name-personal name syntagm. These names appear most frequently in the vocative and nominative cases. The female names that occur most often are Mara and Marica, while the most frequent male names are Đuro and Mato. Female personal names are most often derived by the suffix -ica and male names by the suffix -ek.
