Anthroponyms in the district of Opuzen from 2009 to 2019 based on the data from the Register of baptisms

This Master thesis offers the analysis of the anthroponymic inventory from the Register of baptisms of Opuzen parish for the period between 2009 and 2019. The analysis is conducted on three different levels relating to frequency, origin (etymology) and structure of anthroponyms from the Register. The analysis is based on the theoretical background which presents basic propositions and principles of onomastic theory as well as the development of onomastics in Croatia. Furthermore, historical influences of ancient anthroponymic fund and motivations in the process of nomination have been presented in the theoretical part of the work as well. The results of the analyzed data are presented in the forms of tables and charts presenting three different levels of the analysis. Therefore, the first table and chart present frequency of personal names in Opuzen parish from the most prominent to the rarest name for both male and female anthroponymic inventory from the Register, the second table presents personal names development from their language of origin to Croatian, whereas pie chart demonstrates diversity of anthroponyms in terms of their origin as well as number of names per different origin. The last table presents classification of names into five basic categories depending on their structure (simple, truncated, derived, complex and double names) whereas pie chart displays number of names per each category. Lastly, social and historical factors which affected the choice of personal names recorded in the Register of baptisms of Opuzen parish were elaborated in this paper.
