The basic sources for research on the names of Iskrzynia inhabitants in the 19th century were baptismal registers from the years 1848-1900. The author focused on different factors which could affect the choice of a Christian name, that is to say, family tradition, literary influence, changing fashion. It was also pointed out that the relation between the date of baptism and a saint patron played an important role in deciding on a name for a child. Over 47% of boys received the names of patrons whose days were in the month of their baptism, for girls the percentage was almost 26%.
