This master thesis focuses on writing foreigners' surnames and the influence of European Union (EU) law. It analyses the concept, functions and features of name and discusses the place of name within the language system that often becomes a subject of dispute especially when a necessity of legal act in a field of foreigners' surnames arises. Special attention is paid to analyze the right to name. In order to find out the main features of regulation of surnames, analysis of international, EU and national regulation is provided. This thesis analyses a case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in a field of surnames. Particular attention is paid to cases Sayn-Wittgenstein and Runevič-Vardyn recently examined by the CJEU that are not analyzed in the doctrine yet. The main conclusion of this thesis is that there is necessary to adopt legislation at the EU level that would be able to resolve problems of writing foreigners'' surnames in the host member state, because existing differences in this sphere can lead to violations of main freedoms and rights granted to EU citizens.
