The subject of the article are the names of women – settlers from Bamberg who had lived in the urban villages of Poznań since 1719, and representatives of next generations of Bamberg families. The eponymous Bamberka is treated as an element of the cultural heritage of Poznanians (in both tangible and intangible aspect). The question about Bamberka’s Poznańness refers to the attribution of the same stereotypical traits and common values reproduced on an onymic plane to both Poznanians and Bambers. The model of a Catholic, founded on considering religion an authority in all social matters, determined choices of names made by Bambers and native inhabitants of villages in the suburbs of Poznań to the same degree. The author proves that common values, cultural connotations and onymic stereotypes favoured integration of both groups.

The subject of this article are patronymic surnames of the Poznań Jews used during the period from the 16th to the 18th century. According to the author of the article nonderivative patronymic names, formed according to the model given name + one’s father’s given name, were dominant in the given period. They were based on the German anthroponomastic system. This model was definitely imposed on the Jews in the whole area of the Prussian Partition under a Decree issued in 1797 by king Frederick William II. Under the Decree the Jews were made tax liable and were obliged to have hereditary surnames. The author of the article proves that until the end of the 18th century patronimic personal names were based directly on the given name of one’s father (in every generation), so they were not family surnames. The author also describes other types of patronymic personal names of Jews well-documented in historical sources of Poznań.

The author analyses onymic practices of Poznań–based craftsmen forming guilds. In the names of the inhabitants of Poznań, which stabilised until the end of the 18th century, she seeks traces of the so-called cognomens, i.e. secondary personal designations granted to apprentices who were becoming masters. The names resulted from community acts of creation, which were of ludic nature. Referring to German onymic practices and pointing to the so-called Schleifnamen, the author discusses specific codes of European middle-class culture. She focuses on the transfer of models and patterns to Polish urban communities.

The Jubilee years of the Catholic Church, which were an element of its strategy in the battle against infidels, form an extralingual context of onomastic issues discussed in the article. The study covers first names occurring in Poznań during the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, thus in the period witnessing the disintegration of Western Christianity. The author attempts to define the influence of forms of religious life characteristic of the jubilee years (the veneration of Saints, pilgrimages) on shaping the Catholic paradigm of first names. She considers Christian first names documented in Poznań-based sources as an element of religious (didactic, informational and paraliterary) discourse of that time, dominated by the Catholic Church.
