Summary/Abstract: The study entitled Romanian clergymen and schoolmasters with change surnames from the historical region of Banat (1721-1865) treats the abusive change of Romanian patronymics by the foreign ecclesiastical authority of the time in order to demonstrate – allegedly – that not the Romanians were in the majority within their native province Banat, but the people whose surnames ended in –vić. Nothing more deceitful and untrue ! Therefore, this article aims at restoring the historical reality.
