• U ovome su radu obradena 232 obiteljska nadimka u Puciscima na otoku Bracu. Obiteljski su nadimci, kao dodatan vid identifikacije koji se razvio još u pretprezimenskome razdoblju, a kasnije je sve zastupljeniji zbog brojnosti nositelja pojedinih prezimena, svojevrsni specifikum hrvatskih otoka koji dosad nije dostatno proucen. U Puciscima se obiteljski nadimci bilježe od konca 16. st. te se na temelju njihove motivacije može djelomicno rekonstruirati fond osobnih imena (odnos hrvatskih narodnih imena te hrvatskih i novijih romanskih prilagodenica kršcanskih imena), vanjština (posebice tjelesne mane), karakterne crte (uglavnom nekonvencionalne) te podrijetlo i svakodnevni život Puciscana. Fond je obiteljskih nadimaka znatno otvoreniji inojezicnim sustavima (poglavito romanskim) te je odraz svojevrsne tisucljetne hrvatsko-romanske simbioze na istocnoj obali Jadranskoga mora.
• This paper discusses family nicknames in Pucisca on the island of Brac. Family nicknames, as an additional aspect of identification that developed due to the fact that numerous individuals carried the same family name, are a characteristic of Croatian islands and have not been sufficiently studied so far. The earliest recorded nicknames in Pucisca are from the end of the 16th century, and based on their motivation a fund of personal names can be partially reconstructed (the relationship of Croatian national names with Croatian and Romance forms of Christian names), as can the physical appearance of their first carriers (especially physical defects) and their characteristics (mostly unconventional, origin and occupation of the inhabitants of Pucisca). The fund of family nicknames is much more open to foreign language systems (especially Romance) than are family names and is a reflection of a Croatian-Romance symbiosis on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea.
