Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the attempt to analyze the forming of some surnames types of place-name origin in Polish and Ukrainian anthroponymy. It is based upon the toponymic material included in the dictionary of oyconyms by Dmytr Buczko. Most of the anthroponyms analyzed have their word-formative base of place-name origin, as well as they have their adjectival equivalents. Some of these surnames occur in several variants like Holovno : Holowinski, Holowiecki, Holovec’kyj. The formal differences have been caused by morphological and phonetical processes. Different forms can also appear as a result of different writing formulas, or because of the various, place-name or appellative, origin of these names.
