Summary/Abstract: Żółkiew (Zhovkva) is located about thirty kilometers north-west of Lwów (Lviv), on the historical route leading to Warsaw. The foundation of the city was on the territory of the village (former ancillary colony) Winniki (Vynnyky) by the Świnia (Svynya) river. Thanks to advantageous town privileges, colonizers from other parts of the country joined Polish and Ukrainian indigenous people. Registers of baptisms of the Roman Catholic parish in Żółkiew (Zhovkva) were held from the first years of it’s existence; analyzed data is extracted from excerption of homogenous manuscript sources of the 17th and 18th centuries – seven parish registers of baptisms (1604-1787). The analyzed anthroponyms show East Slavic influences, especially Polish-Ukrainian linguistic interferences. The personal names of Żółkiew (Zhovkva) and the surrounding area illustrate ethnic and linguistic, religious as well as cultural differentiation of the microregion.
