Summary/Abstract: The paper reviews the names given to the plant wormwood (Russian полынь горькая) in Russian and Bulgarian created on the basis of characteristic features and functional properties. The analysis of the pattern of naming of the phytonym provides the possibility to determine the motivating links in the process of forming units of botanical and medicinal lexis, i.e. to trace the relation of the realia with its linguistic encoding, and to uncover the nature of the relations of the naming layers in the systems of the two languages.
