Information about standard first names

This page shows which standard first name belongs to a first name. Click on a blue letter and/or scroll to the wanted first name. A first name can be written in different ways. For example : Casimirus is also written as Kazimierz. So it can happen that when looking at baptisms of children sorted on name you overlook some baptisms of children of the same person when his/her first name is present in different varieties. That is why I have given different varieties of a first name a standard first name. The standard first name is often a Latin name, because many texts are written in Latin. The Catholic Church wrote the given names in Latin in the birth, marriage and death records. The selection and sorting of first names on this website happens by means of the standard first names, except on this page. The standard first names are only visible on this page. Every first name that differs from the standard first name is on this page bold. Example : you find Casparus Krupiarz elsewhere on this site between Janina Krupiarz and Jane Catherine Krupiarz because their standard names are Janina, Jaspardus and Joanna Catharina.
