The name of cit y Jerusalem in Bulgarian anthroponymy The article deals with 50 first names (20 male and 30 female) that are formed as derivatives of the Christian name Иерусалим given in honor of the „holy” city Jerusalem. The majority of the analyzed first names are considered as a result of phonetic changes which affect the initial position of the primary stem (Ие-/Йе-/Ерусалим → Русалим) and his final position (Русалим → Русалин). The variants which arise in this manner are subjected to further changes associated to some degree with the semantic level. The initial part of these names is associated with Bulg. adj. рус ‛blond’, or with Bulg. noun роса ‛dew’ (in the variants with initial [Cyrillic] ро- instead ру-). The final sounds [Cyrillic] -им of the incomprehensible Русалин (< Русалим) are been interpreted as a suffix -ин (-лин, -алин), subsequently replaced by the suffix -ен (-лен, -ален). Some variants are formed by diminutive suffix -ка or -чо. In accordance with the changes of the sound form of the name Иерусалим its Christian character is being forgotten.
