Abstract

The paper analyses 33 family names and 142 different toponyms from the settlement Dubrava on the Pelješac Peninsula. In the introductory part of the paper, the geographic position of the settlement and a short historic overview is given, followed by a short description of the speech of Dubrava, especially the peculiarities in its accentual system which shows systematic deviations from the Neo-Štokavian accentuation system (e.g. falling tone on a noninitial syllable in the present of verbs formed by endings -avati, -ivati and -irati and in loan words). In the central part of the paper, local family names and toponyms are analyzed. In toponymy geomorphological diversity of the area is reflected. The toponyms formed by the Dalmatian adjective san(c)tu(s) – Sutivan and Sutvid are singled out.
