_{In the paper we analyse and interpret names of persons in relation to parents in Slovak dialect area. For research we use unpublished, recorded local language from the archive of Ľ. Štúr Institute of Linguistics. We have chosen four representative names of family members – ujo, teta, strýko, stryná. The principle of interpretation is a study of distribution of the lexemes by area and their relations with word-formation under the influence of the intercultural contacts and language stabilization of the status quo. The main part of the study are maps of dialects with area distribution of features which are a reliable source for research in the wider Slavic context.}
