| Description | This paper is based on research of the geographical names (anoikonyms; minor place-names) in the selected regions of the Mikulov and Břeclav districts in the Southern Moravia. Apart from the German ethnic, since 16th century these regions were also settled by Croatians (so called Moravian Croatians). To this day some of the anoikonyms from the region indicate a former existence of the Croatian minority. For example Deliče comes from Croatian dijelić which means "little piece", Dragy from Croatian draga "valley", Curka from Croatian curiti which means "to flow in a narrow stream" etc. |
