Antroponimia warszawian w XVII wieku

Abstract

The anthroponyms from the second half of the 17th century have been excerpted from documents containing real estate tariffs, published in Sources to Warsaw History. The article deals with names reflecting the name-giving fashion of those times, highlights foreign elements indicative of the non-Polish ancestry of some burghers, as well as Slavonic names used in the nomination of Varsovians. It also covers surname classification groups, with particular regard to surname formation processes in the period in question. Basing on the analysis of anthroponyms from the second half of the 17th century and on results of her earlier research into personal names, the author describes major transformations in the naming of Varsovians in the 17th century.
