Sažetak
The article focuses on research concerning historical anthroponymy and the development of methodology in the fields of history and onomastics. The author’s interest is aimed at the possibilities of interdisciplinary research and the use of special kinds of pre-statistical historical sources (church tithe records, manorial urbaria, lists of serfs and their obligations, wine tithe lists, etc.). The author is also interested in assessing the possibility of their use in research on the historical anthroponomastics of the late medieval and early modern (13th to 16th century) Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. A number of these historical documents were transcribed into a database during interdisciplinary historical-onomastic research recently completed by the author. This extensive database consists of 25, 000 individual records, including attestations of historical anthroponyms. These anthroponymic attestations provided examples of many distinctive types of bynames and surnames. For example, a number of locative bynames were found in many of these documents. This type of anthroponym attests to the multitude of migration routes that extended through most of the late-medieval Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, and branched out in many different directions.
