This article is the second and final part of a greater whole, dedicated to the anthroponymy contained in Zakhari Stoyanov's work entitled 'Notes on the Bulgarian Uprisings' (volumes 1-3, Sofia 1884-1892). The first part of the study appeared in 'Onomastica', vol. 46 (2001), pp. 245-272. In this article surnames and bynames are presented that were recorded in Stoyanov's work. The material is grouped by distinguishing surnames that came from bynames, surnames that came from profession/occupation, and toponymic surnames. Among bynames three groups are distinguished: bynames that are nouns, those that are adjectival (few), and bynames of unclear etymology. Among bynames that are nouns the following sub-groups are distinguished: bynames created from nouns with meanings that designate objects; bynames created from nouns designating animals; bynames created from nouns designating the activities of people, occupation, or profession; bynames from nouns designating geographic and locational origin; bynames characterizing a person according to traits of character, behavior, appearance, or type, or distinguishing characteristic; as well as bynames that were given names.
