Summary/Abstract: The article describes different ways to identify Ruthenian (Ukrainian) womenliving in the eastern part of the Lublin province. The material was excerpted fromthe registers of the Uniate parishes of the former Chełm diocese from the period1596–1810. During the period under study, the anthroponymic system tendedtowards stabilisation in the form of two-element names in accordance with the[first name] + [surname] pattern. The majority of identification formulas consistof a given name and surname derived semantically or through word formation,although there are also few examples of the use of simple surnameless formulasor more extensive, two- and three-element anthroponymic descriptions used toidentify adults.
