Sažetak
Analysis of the baptisms’ register in the parish of Luč from the period between 1790 and 1799 revealed that among male and female names there was no significant change or difference, except the fact that name entropy is slightly more expressed among female names, which is generally quite common. Moreover, some female names (Orka and Roza) occur in a shorten form, which is not case with any of the local male names. Similarly, only among female names there was only one of Slavic origin (Stanislava). All the other names are of the Christian origin and written in Latin form. In the analyzed register there are 36 different male names, and the most frequent six (Andrew, Paul, Mathias, Joseph, James/Jacob and Stephen) consist 48,97 % of the entire fond of the used male personal names. Among recorded female names the most frequent were Mary and Magdalen. These two names were given to almost a quarter baptized girls, which reveals that parish saint (St. Mary Magdalen) was quite popular among the local believers. By the same token, female names Anna, Catharine, Clara and Eva, together with two aforementioned, were given to 62,53% of all the recorded baptized girls. It seems that at the end of the eighteen century people of Luč rarely named their children after their predecessors. Similarly, custom of naming children after their godfathers/godmothers was not often, which makes this settlement distinctive regarding the customs of the neighboring parishes in the Southern Baranya.
