Summary/Abstract: After presenting the results of the previous researches on the topic, the author concludes that the most frequent Ruthenian surnames are Nađ, Kiš, Pap, Hardi, etc. in Ruski Krstur and Hromiš, Hornjak, Ruskovski, Fejsa etc. in Kucura. The Ruthenians living in Ruski Krstur recognise each other not only by surnames but also by cognomens, such as Andriško, Bandurik, Džambas, Jeva, Makajička, Nađmiška, Poštarov and Jonov for surname Nađ. There are approximately 600 Ruthenian surnames in Serbia. More than 40 % of them are of Hungarian origin. The oldest Hungarian surnames/cognomens in the Ruthenian language emerged from the direct contacts of Slavs and Hungarians. Most of them originate from the times before Ruthenian settlement in Bačka in the mid 18th century.
