Summary/Abstract: In the context of the onomastic reading of Ibrišimović’s entire literary oeuvre, in which the name occupies a special place as a multilayered linguistic sign, the historical onomastic space is revealed in the novel Karabeg. The onomastic layer in the novel is conditioned by multiple historical determinants, temporal (change of Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina), spatial (Mostar), cultural (Ottoman cultural circle) and religious (Islam). Karabeg’s onomastic analysis also includes a contrastive analysis of names in Hifzija Hasandedić’s monograph entitled Mustafa-Sidki ef. Karabeg (1944), which served Ibrišimović as a template and impetus for literary formation. In addition to the semantic and structural aspects of the recorded noun categories in the novel Karabeg, the names are analyzed in terms of their authenticity, realism or ictitiousness, trying to point out the multiple pragmatic value and functionality of names in the novel.
