Summary/Abstract: The objective of this article is to stress the problem of honorific motivation, its classification and application in onomastics as one of linguistic and social sciences. The article deals primarily with the glorification of the personalities of Ss. Cyril and Methodius based on a Slovak onomastic corpus. Employing concrete examples, we illustrate the implementation of the names of these significant personalities into propria of different onymic classes and subclasses. This paper came into existence in commemoration of the 1150th anniversary of the arrival of Thessalonian brothers, Ss. Cyril and Methodius, to Great Moravia.
