Summary/Abstract: Surnames are one of many subjects of linguistic research. They are particularly interesting in border areas, which are multicultural, multi-ethnic and multilingual. One of these areas is the Turgiele parish in the Vilnius region. This article discusses selected research problems arising the process of genetic analysis of surnames documented in the registers of the Turgiele parish in the years 1756-1766. Particular attention was paid to the problem of multi-motivation of surnames, which can be etymologized in several languages (Lithuanian, Polish and the East Slavic languages), multi-motivation of sur-names ending in -ski/-cki and hybrid forms.
