Abstract

The article presents and analyses postnominal Polish surnames of Christian origins of Drohobych residents in the late XVIII – early XIX century in relation to their etymology and adaptive peculiarities of their bound stem. It tries to identify origins of derivational morphemes. The sources of the collected 7750 Polish surnames are the handwritten parish registers of Drohobych Roman Catholic Church of St. Bartholomew of the late XVIII – early XIX century with records of baptisms, weddings and funerals preserved in the Central National Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv and the Central Archive of Historical Records in Warsaw. Particular attention is dedicated to Ruthenian influences in shaping Polish anthroponymy on the territory of the Polish-Ukrainian borderlands.
