The subject of the article is a discussion of the grammatical role of Proto-Slavic suffix *-itjь in the Old-Slavic mythological names in: *Svarožitjь and *P’orěnitjь. There is a two interpretations of that suffix: patronymic and hypocoristic. According to L. Moszyński, the its only function at the period of Proto-Slavic language was hypocoristic. Role of that suffix in Proto-Slavic is discused in the paper. The results of analysis clearly show that function of suffix *-itjь was both patronymic and hypocoristic. Conclusion is that these Slavic theonyms may have been patronymic epithets of gods *Dazhbog and *Jarilo.
