The article presents Slavonic first names composed of two elements and single-stem names derived from common nouns in the anthroponymy of burgesses and peasants in the former voivodship of Volynia. Their etymology was presented together with the structure of hypocoristic forms. Attention was drawn to the original semantics of the Slavonic names and their functions as well as to their association with the beliefs of Slavs in the old days.
