Summary/Abstract: This paper is devoted to orthodox ecclesionyms in Polish, as recorded in official usus. The first section is an analysis of the names of churches and parishes, which include the heortonym The Dormition of the Mother of God. The second part presents their possible use as equivalents in translation from Russian to Polish. The author notes that, along with the onomastic and translation perspectives, it is necessary to take into account linguistic rules of a prescriptive nature, as well as historical, cultural and theological factors.
