| Summary: | This paper will analyse approximately 400 toponyms in Tivat and its vicinity. The introductory part of the paper presents the basic historical and demographic data for the studied area (the settlements Bogdašići, Gornja Lastva, Donja Lastva, Kavač, Lepetane, Mrčevac, and Tivat). The central part of the paper classifies the local toponyms according to motivation and linguistic origin. In addition to the basic Slavic (Croatian) layer, the toponymy of Tivat has preserved various substrate and adstrate traits, mostly of Romanic origin. |
