A Preliminary Survey of Names from the
Historical Dictionary of Personal Names in Białystok
by Lillia de Vaux
(Rebecca S. Johnson)
Introduction
The Historical Dictionary of Personal Names in Białystok includes personal names from the late 14th to
late 17th centuries, with most from c. 1560. It includes marked and unmarked patronyms for men, and
marked patronyms and married names for women. Locative bynames are also represented, as are
toponyms and names derived from common nouns or descriptive terms.
This article is intended to provide dated forms for the given names found in the Dictionary, and discusses
briefly the construction of bynames formed from those names, such as patronyms and marital bynames.
The lists include the nominative forms of the names. Unfortunately, in many cases, there is not enough
context to know the language of the primary source. As such, it is not always possible to tell if something
is a nominative form or an inflected form, or if the spelling is only appropriate in records from a particular
language (e.g., a German rendering of a Polish name).
Note that this article is a work in progress. There is a second volume of the Dictionary, published in 1998,
from which I have not yet begun compiling names. Further data, including the locative, toponymic, and
descriptive bynames, have yet to be gathered from both volumes, and additional analysis and research
needs to be completed for both volumes.
Given names
Most of the names in the Dictionary are masculine. Some Ukrainian, Belarusian, and East Slavic names
are found, as are a few Arabic and Jewish names. Latinized forms are also attested. A few of the names
end in suffixes used for feminine names in modern Polish. In some cases, it was clear from the context or
further research that it was a masculine name. For example, one name, Hanna, is used by at least two men
and four women. In other cases, it could not be confirmed which gender was appropriate. If that occurred,
the name was placed with the masculine names.
Unfortunately, women are underrepresented and are frequently only identified by their spouse and/or
father’s name. Very few are identified with their given name until after the gray period. As such, any
name that did not occur prior to 1650 has been omitted.
Dates enclosed in parentheses indicate that a name occurred in an inflected form. For example, an
instance of Bernardi is included in the listing for Bernardus. If the nominative form could not be
determined, or if it was unclear whether it was a nominative form, the name has been left on the list as a
separate name. Duplicate years have been consolidated. If identified in the Dictionary, the origin of a
name has been indicated. (Only the exact spelling from that language has been flagged.)

Name formation
This section is intended as a quick guide on forming bynames from given names. It is by no means
exhaustive.
Patronyms and Married Names Formed from Given Names
In the Dictionary, men commonly have patronymic bynames, most frequently formed by adding -wic(z)/wicc to the father’s given name. Less commonly, the word syn ‘son’ is used, similar to using the Latin
filius. Surnames seemingly derived from unmarked patronyms are also attested, as are diminutive forms
of the father’s given name (e.g., -ik or -yk).
Examples:
marked patronym: Steczo Dachowicz
marked patronym: Jeromin syn Wojciecha Klepacskiego
Latinized marked patronym: Mathias filius Michaelis de Pierzchali
Latinized marked patronym: Joanni de Joannis Brodachi de Brodacze
unmarked patronym: Tymosz Iwan
diminutive patronym: Woyciech Krystonczyk (‘little Krystyn’)
Page 32
In the Dictionary, women are most frequently identified by their given name and a byname indicating
their father's or husband's given name, with a suffix added to show the relationship and/or to feminize the
byname(s), such as -owa for married names and -ówna for maiden names.
Examples:
married name: Łuca Dziemieszkowa
maiden name: Marusa Falkówna
Latinized marked patronym: Anna filia Joannis
Latinized marked patronym: (...) filia Matheei Czep
married name for a widow: Doroszowa wdowa ('widow’)
Note that a given name and byname are required for SCA registration of names, so the last example
(which omits the woman's own given name) is not registerable.
Name Patterns and Other Information
Both double given names and double bynames for men are found in the Dictionary. As unmarked
patronyms are apparently used, it is not always possible to know if the middle name element is a second
given name or a byname.
Examples:
Andrzey Dec Kowonczycze
Radzko Lewko Kozyczy
Miklias Jakub Matherzuganiczi
Andrey Janowicz Boyko
Jacko Micewicz Ławnik
Double given names for women are not present, but double bynames are. For married women, however,
these are usually the maiden name and married name, with or without a locative. In at least one case, the
woman's given name is followed by a feminized locative byname and then the feminized form of her
husband's full name.
Examples:
Bartoszowa Szewczowa
Mikołaiewaia Borodinaia
Piotrowa Borychowska
Lenartowa Danilowska Bohowityn
Zofia Gnoińska Jakubowa Dębińska
The Dictionary includes examples of i/y/j switches, and some names appeared both with an without
diacritical marks, even when the names seemed to be in records written in the same language.
Examples:
Gorai and Goray
Wojciech and Woyciech
Szczesny and Szczęsny
Pawel and Paweł
