Abstract
In this paper the toponymy of the village Oskorušno on Pelješac is analyzed. The village is located on the Župa area in the middle of the peninsula and is first mentioned in the register from 1393/1396 under the name Oskorušna (Oscorusna). In the introductory part of the paper, in addition to historical, demographic and anthroponomastic data dialectological data is given. The speech of Oskorušno today has mostly new Štokavian characteristics with considerable deviations mostly in accentuation which can be seen in descending accents in non-initial syllables. From toponomastic data the reflection of pre-Roman hydronym stem *jadr- (cf. toponym Jedro) can be signaled out. The reflections of Dalmatian-Romance place toponymy also belong to the substrate layer (e.g. Kod stranja, Na peči, Smrčevica, Za botino). From adstrate layers the Venetian layer is the most represented (e.g. toponyms Ponta, Pribošak) as can be expected.
