Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the anoikonyms used in the municipal books (land registers) kept in the town of Boskovice during the years 1694–1790. The land registers contain information about transfers and sales of land and immovable property, but also about rights and obligations associated with them. Nowadays, these books are also used as an important source in genealogical research. This study contains a detailed analysis of all the forms of the anoikonyms, i.e. their forms used in the past, the changes of these forms and their present forms, and also a reflection of the old local names of the current urban topography. The article expands and complements older works focused on the history of Boskovice, including brief mentions about anoikonyms, and also builds on older studies about the land registers of Boskovice.
