Borze Strumiany
In the year 1790, on the 13th day of June, I named above [Walenty Dębicki] baptized an infant with the name Hilary, son of the nobles Antoni Burski “Jalek” and Wiktoria née Zbikowska, a legally married couple. The Godparents in the Sacred Font were the Nobles Antoni Mierzecki and Teresa Bieszkowska.
In this record, Antoni Burski is called “Jalek”, a nickname that helps to distinguish this man from others with the same name.
In the United States, the name “Hilary” is often used as a given name for a female child. In most of the rest of the world, as in this record, “Hilary” is a name for a male child.
