The paper deals with the oldest place, ethnic and personal names from Pannonia and Dacia (I-II AD), as well as from Circummaeotic region (III-IV AD), having Common Slavonic features. Common Slavonic place names and hydronyms mark the oldest areas of Slavonic language in Pannonia, Poland, Volyn’ and Podonie. The distribution of early Slavonic place names correlates with regions of large Slavonic communities of Oseriatae (Pannonia), Venetae (Poland), Sclavini (Volyn’) and Antae (Podonie) in the I-VI cc. AD. The movement eastwards changed into westward migrations in 375-453 AD. The empire of Hunni and its movement from Circummaeotic regions to Pannonia correlates with the Old Bulgarian legend of migration and settlement of five brothers, sons of Kubrat, and their tribes (Chronicle of Theophanes and Breviarium of Nicephorus). At the same time late Roman historians and Bulgarian ethno-genealogical legend describe inter-regional migrations of Slavonic communities and their settlement in the countries of traditional habitation till today.

Carthusian Monastery at Lapis Refugii in Scepusia (Spiš) was active in the period of years 1299–1543. The author analyses in the study circumstances of its foundation and community of the monastery (monks – fathers, priors, …) and also circle of donors from the view-point of their individual ethnic identity or origin. The analysis on the base of Chronicle of the Anonymous Carthusian and of the preserved documentary material reveals a varied picture of different ethnic and social identities. At the same time the author tries to characterize the relationship between individual identity and belonging to the society – community of the monastery. This belonging to the community of christians is revealed, especially from the view-point of the medieval universality of the Christianity, as more general, more containing, able to include the whole spectrum of the individual identities.

In his paper, the author examines a possible implementation of the lexeme ‚predať‘ endowed with the meaning‚ hand over‘ into the Slovak lexical inventory. Leaning on instances of this lexeme in Slovak historical sources and with regard to its development in other Slavonic languages, the author comes to the conclusion that the said meaning must be considered as new and out-of-system in the Slovak language. Investigation into existence of this phenomenon in other Slavonic languages as well as into the meanings of the lexeme in Old Slavonic shows that the Slovenian, Polish, Upper and Lower Lusitian languages exhibit more or less the same situation, while the South and East Slavonic languages along with Czech make up a separate isogloss characterized in its development by the prefixes pro-, pre-/pře-, or pere-.
