Русинські чоловічі імена комітату Шарош за часів Марії Терезії
The Rusyn male names of the Comrade Sharos in the time of Maria Theresa

Summary/Abstract: I wish to briefly present the male Christian names of the serfs of Sáros County. In the present paper the heads of households are listed. During the socage of 1772–74, various lists of names were compiled. These either contained the names in their canonized, Latin versions, or in the original Rusyn forms. I will sum up the names registered in the latter form. In order to provide the possibility for regional and chronological comparisons, I use three concepts: a) name, in its standard form; b) variants of the name; and c) occurrence (specific name, name in the text). The basic form, that is the standard, is always provided in its Latin form. Number of names: 51 Number of occurences: 2,538 Number of variants: 127 The five most common names were: Joannes, Michael, Andreas, Basilies, and Georgius. It is seen in the statistics that in the North-Eastern part of the Hungarian Kingdom the most common name, regardless of ethnic or national identity, was Joannes. This was the case in Sáros County as well.
