Abstracts

EN

The paper concentrates on the Lower-Lusatian surnames derived from the various nouns denoting a tailor. These names can be classified into two major groups: names of the German origin (e. g. Näther, Schneider) and Slavonic, mostly Lower-Lusatian names (Krawc, Kšajc, Šywalnik, Šejak, and others). A great deal of attention is devoted also to other West-Slavic (Polish and Czech) surnames with the same meaning. The geographical distribution of the individual analysed names in Lower Lusatia is illustrated on a map.
