Summary/Abstract: The main theme and the purpose of this study is to present and analyze the names that the orthodox Serbian believers from Ketfel (Gelu), Timiş County, chose for their children throughout the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, on the occasion of their baptism in the Orthodox Serbian Church. This study helps us to understand the way in which the syncretic and consumerist spirit of the society we are living in influenced the Serbian community in Ketfel to such an extent as to accept and even choose for their own children baptism names which were adopted from other cultures and nations, considered to be strange to their own people, as well as to the Christian Orthodox ethos. The study also presents the numerical involution of the Serbian community from Ketfel throughout the period mentioned above.
