Abstract:

The subject of analysis is the etymology of some lineal names in the area of Popovo which are derived from the proper name and the nickname of the founder of the family. The research presented here is a small contribution to the dictionary of family names which is in preparation at present since with the appearance of the category family name, the term lineal name joins this category and fulfills the function of a family name but without the definite article and with singular form.

Keywords:

proper name, lineal name, nickname, byname, family name
