Summary/Abstract: The article is generally based on the Roman Catholic certification volumes of the Stoczek parish from the years 1812 and 1813, which register names of people belonging to Moses faith. The aim of the paper is to present the role of the people in surname formation of Jewish people living in the area between Mazovia and Podlasie, as well as to compare their cultural status in the history of the Jews belonging to the Stoczek parish. The analysis has also a methodological role, as formations registered in the books are not surnames in the linguistic and legal sense, thus the term antropolexeme is offered instead. The work deals with the problem of Jewish 19th century names etymologically, culturally, typologically and in a word-formation way.
