Abstract

The subject of the article are names of delegates to the Polish District Parliament in Poznan in 1918. The authors undertook an anthroponomastic analysis which allowed to classify surnames on the basis of their motivation and etymology. The influence of German spelling on Polish names and manifestations of Polish spelling of surnames after Poland regained independence were also discussed. The analysis is preceded by comments on the history of Polish surnames. Particular attention was also paid to female names, because in 1918 women obtained full electoral rights and could become delegates to the Parliament.
