The article describes a contribution of the Kraków linguists (represented by scientists from Jagiellonian University and Polish Academy of Sciences - Onomastic Department, later Anthroponimic Department in the Institute of Polish Language PAN ) to the studies on personal names. The authoress emphasises the achievements of professor W. Taszycki, the initiator of onomastic studies, and of his co-workers, students and assistants. She also emphasises importance of the work of the Onomastic Department on the 'Dictionary of Old Polish Names' (ed. W. Taszycki 1965-1987) and on the 'Etymological and Derivational Dictionary of Old Polish Names' (ed. A. Cieslikowa, M. Malec, K. Rymut 1995-2001). She shows a specific character of the category of personal names comparing to other names such as nicknames, family names and pseudonyms.

Old Polish dithematic given names of Slavic origin of the type 'Boguchwal', 'Czcibor', 'Domarad', 'Kazimierz', used in the Middle Ages, fell out of use to a significant extent during the Middle Polish period (16th-18th centuries), and were almost forgotten, in favor of borrowed Christian names. In the 19th century efforts were made to bring these native names, extracted from old documents, back to life and to give them to children, out of patriotic motives, with the intention of preserving the national identity after the loss of Poland's independence. The article presents the history of the ancient dithematic given names' return, and particularly their presence in the set of first names given in Poland in the 20th century, showing traditional forms as well as innovations and even false and corrupted readings of the names.
