Summary/Abstract: This paper offers an analysis of chrematonyms connected with the area of ehabilitation/physiotherapy, as represented by the names of non-public rehabilitation/physiotherapy rooms in Białystok. It discusses the structure of anthroponyms as distinct components of the names, the structure and semantics of their identifying parts, as well as the structure and semantics of the firmonyms proper. I discuss the variants and the structure of the chrematonyms, paying particular attention to the semantically hypertrophic names. I also present the role of non-semantic elements in the names of the firms. The analysis demonstrates that the chrematonyms connected with the area of rehabilitation/physiotherapy form a heterogenous group of onyms; they reflect the varied nature of the profession, the current lifestyle trends, as well as the current epidemiological and demographic tendencies.
