Nazwiska z komponentem -k- w części sufiksalnej na podstawie XVIII-wiecznych ksiąg metrykalnych południowej Białostocczyzny

Abstract

The paper discusses the eighteenth-century surnames from the area of the southern Białystok region derived with the formatives including the - k- consonantal element. The research material excerpted from the registers (over 600 anthroponyms) is analyzed in terms of form, structure and etymology. The conclusion is that in the group of anthroponyms derivational stems are both common nouns and proper nouns (first names, surnames already existent at that time, ethnonyms, place names), the latter constituting the majority. It was not possible to define unambiguously the function and meaning of the suffixes with the -k- component.
