U radu se na primjerima prezimena nastalih od naziva za osobu koja kroji i šije odjeću (npr. Krajačić, Švaljek; Abadžić, Sabol, Sartori, Šnajder, Terzić) tablično pokazuje njihova brojnost, a uz pomoć karata njihov prostorni razmještaj na osnovi stanja kakvo je bilo za popisa stanovništva 1948. Kartografski se prikazuje i razmještaj sufiksalnih prezimena od raznojezičnih osnova navedenoga značenja te razmještaj prezimena temeljenih na hungarizmu sabo (< mađ. szabó) i inačicama – najzastupljenijoj osnovi u promatranim prezimenima.The Croatian family-name system is a reflection of historical-political and ethnic turmoil which has left its mark on the history of the Croatian territory. Along with the foreseeably dominant idioglottic linguistic influence, another recognizable feature of this system consists of its alloglottic (primarily German, Hungarian, Italian, and Turkish) elements. In this paper, examples of family names derived from words denoting ‘a person who tailors and sews’ (e.g. Krajačić, Švaljek; Abadžić, Sabol, Sartori, Šnajder, Terzić) are presented tabularly, demonstrating their great number, while their spatial distribution based on the situation at the time of the 1948 census is shown with the aid of maps. The distribution of these family names according to their formational structure is also cartographically represented. It is concluded that the discussed family names have been confirmed mostly in the northern part of Croatia, that alloglottic elements in the family names follow the influential sphere of languages with which the Croatian language and its speakers historically came into contact, and that the dialectal elements contained in family names fit the dialectal image of the Croatian area
