Summary/Abstract: Between 1714 and 1715, enrollments in the registry of births in the parishes at the Plasy monastery document in 70‒100 % of baptisms as first name Evženie or Evžen. It is certain that this phenomenon is related to abbot Evžen Tyttl. Perhaps in this way he was trying to leave behind a trail and he compensated to the parents their charges of baptism in the case that their child was named after him.
