Abstract:The aim of the article is to present the attestations of contemporary Polish surnames of Lithuanian originwhich are absent from the dictionary of Lithuanian surnames (“Lietuvių pavardžių žodynas”, LPŽ),excerpted from the anthroponymic index card files that have been stored in the Lithuanian LanguageInstitute in Vilnius and continually enlarged for several decades now. The files contain data excerptedfrom historical sources of the 16th to 19th centuries and consist of about 200,000 index cards(the actual number of excerpted anthroponyms is lower since some recur in various sources). Dueto space limitations, generally only directly attested names have been included in the article, to theexclusion of those whose relationship with the researched name can be inferred rather than consideredproven. Each listed attestation of an anthroponym (probably not in all cases an already establishedhereditary surname) is accompanied by information concerning its location and year (or timebracket), wherever available in the card index file. Given names or other details (e.g. the role of theperson mentioned in documents, such as godmother in the data excerpted from baptismal registers)have only been included occasionally, if there was some reason to do so.
