Name «Vnuchko»

The personal name "Vnuchko" was recorded in 1445 in the Moldovan city of Ștefan Vodă in the following context: "Lord Yano from Chizhev and Lord Vnuchko from Cotnari." The title "Lord" preceding the anthroponym "Vnuchko," along with the immediate proximity of the analogous anthroponym "Lord Yano," provides sufficient grounds to consider the lexeme "Vnuchko" not merely as a common term of kinship denoting a grandson, but rather as an internal family variant of a name. In the records of the Polish language, the name "Wnuczko" and "Wnęczko" began to be documented from the 15th century.
