TO THE DICTIONARY OF PROPER NAMES (ON THE MATERIAL OF ARCHAIC OIKONYMS OF UKRAINE) II.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of anthroponyms which are creative stems of geographical names ending in *-ovъ/*-evъ of Ukraine. Deanthro-ponymic oikonyms of Ukraine is mainly represented by several common-Slavonic types (possessive names (ending in *-jь-, *-inъ, *ovъ/*-evъ), patronymic names (ending in *-itji), defamily names (ending in *-і). The purpose of the article is analysis of an-throponyms of foreign origin fixed in possessive oikonym sending in *-ovъ/*-evъ. The objective of the study is to focus mainly on canonical names and their variants, which indicates the process of adaptation of foreign names on the Slavonic linguistic basis. Anthroponyms separated from archaicoikonyms are an additional source of Slavonic, in particular Ukrainian, anthroponymicon. The creative stem of geographical name indicates the time of its formation. Names containing common-Slavonic two-com-ponent names are archaic. And those ones including Christian names and its variants in creative stems arose later because canonical names were used by Slavs just after introduction of Christianity. The borrowed proper names of people hidden in oikonyms testify about common areas not only of oikonyms but also of anthroponyms. The prac-tical value of the article is that separated from archaic types of geographical names of Ukraine proper names of people replenished All-Slavonic anthroponymicon and are the part of future Dictionary of proper names. As a result, the research revealed the peculiarities of anthroponyms separated from archaic oikonymic types. 189 anthropo-nyms were reconstructed. 31 onyms(16 %) have not been found in available lexico-graphical studies: Деменник (< Дем’ян), Дениско (< Денис), Домненко (< Домна), Домонт (< Домн), Дунич(к) (< Євдокія), Дунь(о) (< Євдокія), Дусан (< Євдокія), Єлен (< Олена), Єрко (< Єрофей), Єр (< Єрофей), Іванч (< Іван), Івач (< Іван), Івачко (< Іван), Ігнаско (< Ігнат), Ілько (< Ілля), Ішко (< Йосип), Їллєш(щ) (< Ілля), Йолтушко (< Євтихій), Калкай (< Калістрат), Кал (< Калій), Каришко (< Кара), Каролинко (< Кароліна), Карпеченко (< Карпо), Киричай (< Кирик), Кіл (< Акила), Климан (< Клим), Корнюк (< Корній), Корнюх (< Корній), Косман (< Кузьма), Костий (< Костянтин), Кузьмичуй (< Кузьма).
