Summary/Abstract: The paper brings a formative and lexical comparison of Croatian anatomical terminology in Šulek’s and Loknar’s dictionaries, with the conclusion that anatomical terms of Greek and Latin origin are mostly listed by Loknar, whereas Šulek either gives literal translations of all Latin terms into Croatian or records Croatian popular terminology. It is noted that Šulek’s dictionary is characterized by a more marked language economy in the creation of Croatian terms, but the terminology in Loknar’s dictionary is more understandable and more specific.
