In the article the author analyses word-formation and semantics of personal nouns of masculine gender, derived with the help of unproductive suffixes in the 17th – century Russian language. The suffixes mentioned are: -анин, -ак, -ант, -ар/-арь, -ер, -тырь, -ач, -ич/-евич, -им, -ина, -ка, -ыка, -ок, -ух, -их, -ца (-ица, -йца, -ница), -ачей/-чий (-ичий, -ничий), -ий. The research shows that sufixes -ар/-арь and -анин are more frequently used than others in described derivational process, and suffixes like -ант, -ач, -им, -их, -ыка, -ырь can be found only in single personal nouns. What is more, we can talk about the specialization of some of them. Some nouns reveal synonymous meaning, eg. трубач – трубачей, ходок – ходак, горожанин – гражанин, and in several cases we can deal with the loadings from west-european languages, eg. аптекарь, музыкант, мушкетер. In general, in comparison to the most productive in Russian language of 17th century suffixes -тель, -щик, -ник and -ец the unproductive ones are rare in secular literature of that period.
