Lithuanian personal names in the religious documents

Summary/Abstract: The anthroponyms recorded in the manuscript documents of the German Order, specifically, German Order folio No. 105, are analyzed in the article. The German Order manuscripts present a vast variety of Baltic toponyms and anthroponyms; there are also plenty of Lithuanian onyms among them. The article discusses the Lithuanian anthroponyms which are cited in German Order documents while mentioning privileged Lithuanians. So far, the majority of them are basically unknown anthroponyms or the variants of already known ones. The aim of the article is to attempt to explain the origins of the new anthroponyms following a thorough analysis of the facts of the new anthroponyms and their comparison to the existing Baltic anthroponyms.
