Abstract
The ancestry of Ukrainians believed that gods were all around the world: in the sky, in the air and in the ground; they believed that the nature was alive and full of miracles. These beliefs were reflected in the literary fairy tales. The aim of this article is to introduce the contemporary Ukrainians to lexical contents of the fairy tale. It can be done with the help of such tasks as: to examine the mystic names of characters in Ukrainian literary fairy tale of the Õ²Õ century; to pay attention to the classification of these names; to clarify the meaning of these characters for Ukrainians; to explain their reflection in works of art in author’s interpretation. The object of this article is the language of Ukrainian literary fairy tale of Õ²Õ century; the subject is the mystic names of characters in literary fairy tale. Taking into account the works of researches the author of this article distinguishes three types of words with anthroponymic-mystic meaning: mythic, mystic and religious. The authors using the first two types just named their characters inserting some abilities in their names, but concerning the third type the authors used the particular approaches. For example, the authors showed the representatives from the Underworld using the general words, the descriptive models, the definitive phrases as well as adding the name even tautological one. This is also true regarding the representatives from the Heaven, but at the same time there is another specific orthographic feature: words can be written with a capital or lowercase letter and with a hyphen. The author of this article determined that anthroponymic structure of Ukrainian literary fairy tale not only extended its boundaries but also facilitated the making of orthographic system. In a long term the author plans to compose a handbook of anthroponymic words of Ukrainian literary fairy tales of Õ²Õ century.
