Abstract
The article researches the proper names of the literary heroes in the novel «Vichnyk. Confession on the Passover of the Spirit», written by the Transcarpathian writer Myroslav Dochynetsl; it also gives a description of names of the heroes in the novel, reveals their informational potential. Main hero in the novel has many names; they all are formed from appellatives, but author chooses name Vichnyk that has a symbolic meaning. Word «vichnyk» is absent in our vocabularies. Selecting the name for his hero, author becomes a creator. He’s creating a world in the word-name that becomes a quintessence of the shown in the text, becomes principal. As we can see, author’s new name Vichnyk has got informational content and evaluative aspect. Together they work on the subject, the idea, the artistic vision. The other names of the hero are also interesting: Healer, Znatnyk, Sorcerer, Bosorkun, Kharakternyk, Eternal Grandfather, One that lives in the Black Thicket… In our opinion, all these names are only minor additions to the name Vichnyk. These names are synonyms to the word «wizard». God is a cross-cutting theme in all novels by M. Dochynets, so as in «Vichnyk». The author calls God by different names: Almighty God, Father, Lord, God, Jesus, Granter, Creator, Son of God, Doctor, Master, Great Potter, Great Craftsman, Supreme Being. God in «Vichnyk» is a creative and leading force. The author calls the minor characters with familiar names, which are specific to the region; some of them have got Transcarpathian dialectal features. Our study showed that the literary anthroponomy is the creativity of the author. Myroslav Dochynets puts into the proper names of the literary heroes some valuation; onym becomes the most laconic tool of the hero characteristic.
