The article refers to anthroponyms of patronymic type found in birth records of St. Adalbert Parish in Poznań dating from the 17th and the 18th centuries.

Attention is also drawn to the transition of anthroponyms with the suffixes in question from the patronymic to the structural surnames category, which was probably associated with the ennoblement of surnames that was observed in that period not only in Poznań alone.
