The subject of the article are eponyms, i.e. words deriving from names in the field of religion. The aim of the sketch was a semantic classification of excerpted vocabulary, as well as a description of the etymology and the grammar of the collected lexemes. As a result of the analysis, it was established that the following semantic groups were represented in the greatest numbers “Orders and/ or their members”, “Sects and/or their followers”, “Religions and/or their followers”. As regards etymology, the leading group was made up of eponyms derived from the surnames and the first names of saints, founders or leaders and from the names of locations. The prevailing forms among derivatives were characterized by the suffi x -ismus, -er in singular and plural and the suffi x -it in singular and -en in plural.
