Summary/Abstract: In this paper we dealt with monastic names in The Diptych of the Dečani Monastery, which records names from the end of the 16th to the be-ginning of the 20th century. We excerpted the names from the sections that are provided for entering the names of monks and nuns, as well as from other sections in which the names of monks are written. All recorded monastic names are analysed from the etymological and semantic aspect and from the aspect of their formation, and next to each name in brackets we provided the information of how frequent it was among the monks and nuns. The recorded male monastic names mostly belong to the group of calendar ones that appear very rarely, or do not appear among the people at all. Monastic female names are mostly names that are quite common among the people.
