The Index of Persons includes all the personal names that occur in the database.

The Index features personal names in a normalised form (e.g. in the form generally accepted in secondary literature) determined by us. However, other name variants are also recorded, which simply refer to the normalised form of the name.

In order to distinguish between persons with identical names, we employ (Roman) numbering, which follows the personal name. For example, "Sztehlo, András (II.)"

In the case of persons with unknown names (like inscribers or album owners whose name is unknown), we substitute the name with a "?". In order to distinguish between these persons with unknown names, we also use (Roman) numbering.

Occasionally, we also use the "sr." (senior) and the "jr." (junior) abbreviation after personal names.

Personal names are complemented with three distinctive marks which can be found after the personal name, among brackets:
- (b) = inscriber
- (t) = album owner
- (bt) = insciber and album owner
 
If no mark is found after the personal name, then the name in question refers to a person who is included in the database neither as an album owner nor as an inscriber.

The personal names and the relevant information of the Index of Persons are organised into columns:
- The first column includes normalised as well as other name variants.
- The second column includes the number of entries featured in our database by those persons who are included in the database as inscribers (or as owners and inscribers). (This is only visible with normalised name variants.)
- The third column either contains other name variants (next to normalised name forms) or the normalised name form itself (next to other name variants).
- The fourth column contains the IDs of those records where the given personal name appears not as the name of an inscriber or album owner. The "lit." abbreviation applied in the fourth column means that the given personal name is also found in the list of Bibliographical abbreviations (for example, as the name of a scholar we refer to).
