Europe in the context of names: teaching onomastics in Croatia

This paper gives a basic overview of the current development of name studies in Croatia. Although research in onomastics has been very intensive during the last few decades, onomastic courses were introduced to Croatian universities only fairly recently. However, onomastic studies have been so far almost exclusively oriented towards the research of the Croatian name stock. The new onomastics course Europe in the context of names was introduced within the framework of the new doctoral studies program European Studies : Languages and Cultures in Contact at the University of Zadar. The aim of the course is to heighten the awareness of students to the "world of names" in an ever-changing European environment and to enable them to develop the fundamental skills of individual onomastic research.
