Imiona chrzestne bielskich prawosławnych i katolików na przełomie XIX i XX wieku

Abstract

The paper presents baptismal names of inhabitants of Bielsk Podlaski from the years 1890–1909 excerpted from the church records of Orthodox parishes and a Roman Catholic parish. In the context of this confessional diversification the frequency of individual given names, their share in terms of the religious-cultural motivation and linguistic origin, as well as the forms in which they were recorded were analysed.
