    Anthroponymikon of Kyiv-Mohyla academy of the XVII-XVIII century: the semantic aspect
    (2024) Toma, Nataliia
    The article is devoted to the analysis of the semantics of the surnames of the figures of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy of the XVII–XVIII centuries, which was a unique phenomenon in the history of the Ukrainian people and provided examples of socio-political, economic, military and spiritual organisation of society. Our main goal is to determine the semantic basis of the anthroponyms of public figures of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, offering a description and classification of the relations between family names and surnames. Extralinguistic circumstances are also taken into account in the process of exploring the semantics of lexical units. The original semantics, discover motives and principles of nomination are outlined. Our objective is to highlight the main approaches in the modern theory of onomastics. We mention etymological, sociological, historical, functional and synchronous aspects of antroponyms researches. The anthroponymic heritage, created in the "living laboratory" directly by all participants, was analysed, considering the features relevant to the possessors of nicknames at the time of nomination. The article contrasts nomination principles, nomination motives and methods of nomination. Nomination methods are the ways of object nomination. The principles of nomination are related to onyms and notional concepts. The article reveals the motives of nomination as the reasons for specific peculiarities of nomination. All the surnames in this research are described and classified according to this classification. It was determined that most surnames are connected with the transition of personal proper names, individual nicknames, and appellative designations of a person into hereditary names of people without any structural changes as a result of semantic reinterpretations. Most nominations are from full names; some depict contracted variants of male Christian names. Due to etymology, Old Slavic language nominations and their derivatives exist. The analysed factual material made it possible to identify the main motivational and semantic features characteristic of the Old Ukrainian anthroponymicon. Surnames and surnames that arose due to the transfer of personal proper names to the category of surnames, names of one category to another, and common names to the category of proper names are considered. It was found that within the studied material, there are invariable sound forms of the creative word (motivator), which remain unchanged acquire a new meaning and become semantically derived (motivated). Analysed material has demonstrated that there are some derivatives of common nouns. A separate group among them is made of names that came from the external characteristics of the name carrier, such as the names of the trades and crafts.
