Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide a historical and anthroponymic picture of Bosnia and Herzegovina through an analysis of its family names. So, this paper analyzes surnames motivated by the terms of cuisine culture: names for dishes and drinks, the ways they are prepared and the instruments in that process. That is done on the basis of the following criteria: the etymology of the surnames (belonging to a native, foreign or immigrant cuisine, actually belonging to languages: latin, slavic or oriental), the semantic motivation of the surnames (the ethnological criteria that may be involved in choosing a particular surname), the formation of the surnames (formational analysis), the structure of the surnames (the variants of a surname conditioned by phonetic and / or phonological alternation of speech sounds), and compared with the relevant onomastic literature. Considering, name and surname is cultural phrase, with specific geographical characteristics and the religious motives.
