Summary/Abstract: The present paper presents classified and analyzed antroponyms of the region of Podveležje — the region situated in the transitional area between the Adriatic Littoral and the high Dinaric Mountains. Toponomastyc material of the region offers an important number of micro-toponyms which contains antroponyms in its basis. Most of the time, those are syntagmatic toponyms, the first part of which is an antroponymic determinant in the form of a possessive adjective, while the second part is usually a geographic apelative. The paper also gives the toponyms created from the antroponyms by way of various derivative processes, as well as the different layers of the origin of such micro-toponyms.
