Summary/Abstract: The town of Česká Lípa was founded in the early 14th century in the place of the former Slavic settlement. The new citizens, mostly of German nationality, came probably predominantly from Lusatia and Silesia. The paper follows up the article on the names of Česká Lípa citizens in 16th and 17th centuries, written by the same author. A name list of the dwellers from the pre-Hussite period (1370 – 1420) is provided here. These names are included almost exclusively in the clerical sources. Due to the character of these texts, their language is Latin in all cases. The oldest layer of the recorded names from this period enables us to follow the development of the naming of people and changes in recording of names. The author has delimited eleven different patterns of denomination of people.
