The following names are taken from Latin records relating to the Bishopric of Bar, Montenegro, dating to 1609. From the period 1443 to 1571, Bar was under the control of Venice, and the language spoken there was Venetian. The Ottomans conquered Bar in 1571, but the names still show strong Italian influence through the end of the century, and into the beginning of the next. What is curious is that some of the names show clear Slavic influence, particularly in byname construction.
