The paper presents the history and rules of usage of a surname and 15 categories of given names and appellations occurring in the Chinese anthroponomy. A typical Chinese (Han nationality) personal name consists of a surname followed by a standard given name. This pattern of naming started in the very beginning of the Chinese civilization, although there were also other patterns of personal names, performing the function of identifying people according to their gender, status in family and society, and social or professional functions. The more important the status of a person, the more varied categories of names the person was bestowed on.

The Old Slavic men‘s personal names Chot(e)mir, Chotebor, Chotislav, Chotemyslъ are composed of the component chot-, with a spell variant choc- (in the meaning of wishing something, praying for something, wanting something) and of the appellative mirъ, or bor, or verb slaviti, or appellative myslъ. Geographical names originating in these personal names and in their abridged forms, such as Chotek, Chotko, Choteš, Choten, are largely deployed throughout the Slavic language area. The naming process of studied settlement names from the territory of Slovakia reaches the period of arrival of the Slavs to the present area of Slovakia and to the first centuries of their settlement. This naming process was primarily oriented towards settlement geographical features (seats, yards, villages, solitudes, courts, sites, hamlets etc.). The testimony of the former personal names (Chot(e)mir, Chotebor, Chotislav, Chotemyslъ) active functioning in the Slovak language area (apart from the rare written documents) is provided mainly by the selected Slovak toponyms. The particularity of the study of the occurrence of geographical names with the word basis of chot-, especially from the category of toponyms of physical geographical features is that these toponyms offer also another etymological possible departure basis. The word basis of chot-, originally koč- and choč-, often occurs in geographical names of hills, peaks, elevations, mounds etc., originating from the Old Slavic toponymic appellative vocabulary (lexis).

This article presents an analysis of the origin of some place names mentioned in Old Russian chronicles and derived both from hydronyms Vbryn' - Proto Slavonic *br6n-/*bryn- 'swampy waters' , where 6 stands for a high reduced front vowel called 'jer'; 'Kolbalskoi pogost' - 'Kolba' (- Slav. *k7lb- 'locus fluminis profundior', where 7 stands for as high reduced bach vowel called 'jer' ) with the linking morpheme; 'myshega' - IE *mei- : *moi- : *mi- : *meie 'damp, humid' (cf. Common Slavonic *myti 'wash', *m7kh7 'moss', Russian (pro)moiglyi 'wet (about the weather, etc.)', dial. miga 'rot, mould, damp weather', muiga 'pool, a small drying up lake, pond, etc.') with the extender *-s- + the rare suffix *-eg-; Rukh - the IE base *reu-s- : *rou-s- from the root *reu- : *rou- : *ru- 'dig (up)', richly represented both in the appellative (cf. Russian rukh 'bustle, agitation, anxiety' (in other East and West Slavonic languages 'movement'), rukhnut' 'collapse, fall', rushit' 'destroy' (in Old Russian 'dig' as well), rykhlyi 'friable', Czech ruchat 'plough', etc.) and toponymic (Russian Ruhan'), Old Ukrainian (Rukhavcy), Czech (Rouchovanka) vocabulary; Sezha - cf. Czech dial. sezii 'it is drizzling', and others) and personal names (Dubechin - *Dubeka (this name is not attested, but both the stem dub- 'oak' and the suffix -eka occur in the Old Russian anthroponomastics) + the formant -in-; Klichen < Klich' (< klichati 'shout, cry (out)') + the formant -'n-; Kolozhe - Koloda - koloda 'log, tub, etc.') + the formant *-j-; Lyshchikovo - Lyshchik - lyskati 'smile') + the formant -ov-; Onegi Spasskie i Yur'yevskie < *Oneg7 - the hypocoristic derivative from the compound anthroponym like *Negomir7, *Negoslav7, *Negovoi6 with the prothetic O- - in the plural form (the existence of this name is confirmed by the fact, that the possessive adjective, derived from it, has been kept in the anoikonym (Onegova poliana); Roznezh - Roznieg, attested only in one of the Novgorod birch letters, + the formant *-j, and others) of the Slavonic descent.

Old Russian chronicles contain 128 oikonyms of the middle and late periods, derived by means of the possessive suffix -ov- ׀׀ -ev- (16.2% of their total number). Almost all of them are motivated by personal names. This article presents an etymological analysis of oikonyms and their anthroponymical stems. Among these etymologies we’d like to distinguish a new interpretation of the well-known name Boris (< Old Scandinavian *Branda-rids ‘(in) struggle galloping’; this name preserved in the Danish oikonym Berritsgård). In conclusion we classify names and their stems from various points of view.

The paper examines the correlation between name and reality in the history of culture and science. It provides the characteristics of contemporary philosophical, natural scientific, physical and mathematical as well as linguistic approaches to this problematics. It also mentions the specific role personal name plays in both ontological and sociocultural perspectives. The paper introduces the topological model of the structure of the word together with its main features. The resulting topological model of the name is unfolded into the matrix of the Absolute. The core axioms of the model of the word are formulated, and “The Matrix of the Absolute” project is proposed.
