Sažetak
According to available literature and field research, the author attempted to create a picture of the development of the medieval village of Vid. He tried to supplement the relatively small amount of data from historical sources with migration research and an explanation of the origin of Vid family names. Family names are language signs which often reflect much older language layers. Thus we can find Roman, Greek, Albanian, Turkish, Arab and Old Croatian remnants within Vid family names; we meet with some forgotten occupations, old customs of the local population and their origins. They bear witness to the difficult past experienced at the dividing line between great forces. The fact that Vid has only 1340 inhabitants today (Vid 779, Prud 561), while Antic Narona had more than several tens of thousands of inhabitants, proves the difficulty of life in such surroundings.
