This article deals with means of identifying persons in the baptismal register of the parish of the town of Reszel, which belonged to the Reszel komornictwo in Warmia. The excerpted naming material is divided into personal names of men and women. A common means of identification of men is giving only their first names, the initial N. and profession. Women were most often identified in relation to their fathers or husbands. In view of their barely perceptible social role, they were seldom designated with information indicating occupation.
