Abstract: Description of naming customs in a rural Catholic region. Explanation of the baptismal name and the patronymic. There is also the traditional name which is composed of the baptismal name, the father’s name, and the grandfather’s name (Vuksan Lek Nika). Another type of name is that of the village. The types of names used in address are described. Two types of names that are somewhat unusual are: (1) those names not pronounced like gjarpër (serpent) or ujku (wolf), and (2), the name of a newly-deceased which must be announced by shouting to members of the tribe.

This volume examines patterns in naming in Albania, Greece, Romania, and and collects data from all social categories over various periods of history. More traditional and less influenced by governments, this area of Europe has preserved conventions of name and territorialization, name and tribal society, or name and religion that reconstitute systems that have elsewhere disappeared."
