Abstract

This paper provides a formational and motivational analysis of the family names recorded in the oldest birth register of the St. Lovro parish in Petrinja based on available sources and literature. The beginings of the formation of the town of Petrinja date to the 17th century, and birth registers have been kept since 1677. Of the seventy-three family names whose records reach up to three hundred years in the past, sixty-three are still present in Petrinja today. The purpose of this paper is to provide a historical and anthroponymic picture of the generally linguistically unexplored area of Petrinja through an analysis of its family names.
