Anđela Frančić
Abstract
In this article the author analyses baptismal names of children entered in the Baptism Register of the St. Vitus prebend in Varaždin during the 1830s. Baptismal names are observed with regard to the number of components, linguistic origin and selection criterion. Jagić’s baptismal name is observed in the context of the analysed baptismal names system. The analysis has shown that the choice of his baptismal name is completely in accordance with the baptismal names system of that time period in Varaždin – at baptism children were given saints’ names; baptismal names consisted of one or two, rarely more components; names were often given after saints whose commemoration day was close in time to the day of the child’s baptism.
