ПРІЗВИЩА УКРАЇНЦІВ СХІДНОЇ ГАЛИЧИНИ, МОТИВОВАНІ ВЛАСНИМИ ІМЕНАМИ ПОЛЬСЬКОГО ПОХОДЖЕННЯ
SURNAMES OF UKRAINIANS OF EASTERN GALICIA, MOTIVATED BY OWN NAMES OF POLISH ORIGIN

Summary/Abstract: Surnames are an integral part of a person’s family identity and accompany a person throughout their life. The study of regional anthroponymy is the basis for dialectology, lexicography, etymology, word formation, and comparative linguistics. This paper considers various principles of classification of surnames in general, and in particular it analyses surnames of Ukrainians from Eastern Galicia, motivated by their own Polish names. The source of the surnames was the telephone books of Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Ternopil. The sample consists of 657 surnames, out of which 57 names were used: 41 male and 16 female ones. Most names became the basis for the formation of not one but many surnames. The materials and results of the research can be used in writing comparative works on Ukrainian and Slavic onomastics, in research on lexicology and history of language.
