Abstract

This paper deals with the repertoire of personal names in the city of Split during the second half of the 19th century, specifically during the period of the Croatian national revival movement. The corpus of over 5,000 names has been excerpted from nine baptismal registers of several Split parishes. The aim of this research is to prove, by means of quantitative, qualitative, and comparative analysis of the corpus, that personal names represent the most flexible and the most dynamic anthroponomastic category, which is strongly influenced by the socio-political context, in this particular case by tumultuous national revival movements and certain fundamental changes they bring, which is, among other things, reflected in the occurrence of national names. The diastratic distribution of personal names in this socially differentiated urban area shows significant differences between the high/middle and the lowest social class, especially with regard to foreign fashionable names that became more frequent towards the end of the 19th century.
