Відображення українсько-польських мовних контактів в антропонімії Житомирщини XVI–XVII ст.
Reflection of Ukrainian-Polish language contacts in the anthroponymy of Zhytomyr region in the XVI–XVII centuries

Summary/Abstract: The Polish language actively penetrated the lives of Ukrainians, particularlyin office work in the XVI and especially in the XVII century. The subject ofour study were Polonisms found in the identification of men in the Zhytomyrregion in the XVI–XVII centuries. Among foreign names, more than 6% are inthe naming of representatives of the top and less than 1% – of the lower socialstrata, some are borrowed from the Polish language: Kryshtof, Sebestian, Fry(d)ry(ch)and others. Occasionally the same person, primarily a nobleman, is identifiedby the Ukrainian name and its Polish counterpart: Fedor / Teodor, Semen / Shymon.Attention is paid to Polish phonetic features in the analyzed surnames:incomplete vowel forms: Zablo(ts)ky(y), Kga(v)ro(n)sky(y); preservation of theProto-Slavic suffix *dl: Motovy(d)lo; Proto-Slavic nasal reflexes: Do(m)bro(v)sky(y), Kgole(m)be(v)sky(y), Szczęsny. Variable use of such anthroponyms with theirUkrainian equivalents is proved: Kgroho(v)sky(y) / Kgoroho(v)sky(y), Ve(n)kgry(n) /Uhryn.
