Summary/Abstract: The research object of the present text is the West Slavic personal names (Polish, Czech, and Slovak), both males and females, derived from a Roman praenomen. Its main aim is their complete list to be presented as well as their initial etymology.The excerpted onyms are grouped according to the appellative or anthroponyms from which they are derived. Another classification is done, based on the extralinguistic information about the name canonization, i. e. if a given Slavic anthroponym is an Orthodox saint’s name, if it is a Catholic one’s, or it is included in the list of saints by the both churches.
