Ономастика „Косовљанских села“ у околини Зајечара
Onomasticon of the “Kosovan” villages near Zaječar
Abstract
The paper presents onomastic data collected in twelve villages situated in
the surroundings of the East Serbian town of Zaječar. They are called “Kosovan”
according to the tradition that their fi rst settlers migrated from Kosovo. The local
speech seems to confi rm such a migration, whose dating for the lack of written sources
varies between the time immediately after the Kosovo battle fought in 1389 and the
Austrian-Turkish wars of the early 18th century.
Both toponymic and anthroponymic data are presented. A comprehensive list of
toponyms (I 2) is preceded by historical descriptions of all twelve villages (I 1). The
presentation of the anthroponymic materials (II) is divided into eight parts: family
nicknames (1), surnames (2), male (3) and female (4) given names, male (5) and
female (6) hypocoristics, male (7) and female (8) nicknames. All name forms are
accented.
