Onomastic of Loznica and Donja mala near Batocina
Abstract
This paper is a contribution to a study of onomastic in two Batocina's suburbs Loznica and Donja mala. Batocina was built on the banks of Lepenica's lower course, 3km upstream from its confluence with Great Morava. We have registered Micro-toponyms of Loznica, the community which is situated on the right and a community of Donja mala on the left side of the Lepenica River. Both communities are 2 km away from Batocina's downtown. We have also registered toponyms that are situated outside of the previously mentioned communities. There are arable lands and forests which are owned by the families Stojanovic, Markovic and Petrovic whose parentage originates from Bulgarians and Marcic gentes. Dictionary of anthroponomy has been made in which we classified: surnames, family nicknames, personal names of males and females, personal nicknames and also hypocoristics of males and females that belong to the inhabitants of these communities who have their origins in Bulgarian and Maricic families. These families emigrated to Sumadia from Eastern parts of Serbia after the Milos's revolt.
