Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses presence of medieval Bosnia-Hum rulers and potentates in the latest street nomenclature in the area of two Herzegovinian cantons (Herzegovina-Neretva and West Herzegovina). The street nomenclature analysis showed that eleven Bosnia-Hum rulers and potentates were represented in the cities and municipalities with Croatian majority population. Comparing the obtained data to results of the research related to the presence of the medieval Croatian rulers in the odonyms of Herzegovina, the authors came to the conclusion that medieval Croatian rulers are more significantly represented in the Herzegovinian toponymy than Bosnia-Hum rulers and potentates.
