Summary/Abstract: In this article, the etymology of the Serbian surname Palavestra and similar Serbian surnames (e. g. Palonga, Palovrtić) has been scrutinized. Their first part, Pala-/Palo-, has been etymologized from Dalmatian Romance (and – maybe from there – Balkan Romance as well) word *pala/*pal-o- “sword”. Also, the partial possibility of obscene meaning of this word in some of the surnames mentioned has been scrutinized, in addition to what the etymological suggestions of few Serbian terms for distant male ancestors has been given: parđipan, (?) *kurđup, kurlebalo, kurcula, sukurebalo, sukurdov with feminine form sukurdača, (?) *surdepač, *ožmikur, kurajber, maybe even beli orao.
