Із спостережень над праслов'янською спадщиною в українській антропонімії ХVІІІ ст.: (На матеріалі Реєстру Війська Запорозького Низового 1756 р.)

Abstract

У статті проаналізовано етимологічний склад, сортимент і частоту вживання слов’янських автохтонних імен і похідних від них прізвищевих назв, які представлені в Реєстрі Війська Запорозького Низового 1756 р. Зроблено висновок, що, незважаючи на тенденцію до майже повного зникнення, праслов’янські імена продовжували існувати в українській антропонімній системі ХVІІІ ст. у вигляді прізвищевих назв.

The article deals with analysis of the etymological staff, assortment and frequency of the Slav autochthonic names and derivative from their family names, listed in the 1756 Register of the Zaporozhian Host. Since from the whole quantity of the Slav autochtonic names in the Ukrainian language XVIII cen. continued functioning only those which were legalized by church, the antroponims Радко and Ярош, which are available in the source, it is valid to regard them not as evidence of existence of the remains of the original Slav anthroponimic heritage, but as consequence of the change of morphological structure of the Christian names Родионъ and Иеремия or Єрофей. The family names, which are formed from the Slav personal names-composites, happen in register very seldom. The register contains twenty four denominations which originate from original Slav names fromcomposite origin. Taking into account the circumstances of the rise and functioning of family names in New Sich, and also taking into account eye-witness evidences about motives of the choice, it is possible to affirm absence of direct genetic connection between Zaporozhian nicknames formed from vocabulary “nomina impersonalia”, and original Slave names. Primary dependence can only be affirmed about those family names of the type “nomina personalia”, the stem of which reflected in the parents attitude to the childbirth, aspiration to save its life, perhaps, the sequence of the birth. The results of the study have shown, that despite of the tendency to almost total disappearance, the original Slav names continued to exist in Ukrainian anthroponimic system in the XVIII cen. as the family names.
