Naming became a certain part of our social life. Names reflect the condition
of society, showing its common and specific features. It’s possible to investigate
them on the examples of antroponyms, toponyms and especially on the examples
of ergonyms (proper names of different objects of human's activity) [1:166] and
pragmatonyms (trade marks) as quickly changing classes of onyms. The
description can be done by comparison of certain classes of onyms in different
historic periods, or in different parts of the country or even in different countries.
Location on different territories, agricultural or industrial surrounding produces a
strong influence on names formation. Historical peculiarities of different
settlements of the regions which are investigated
are very important in the
processof producing names of different onymic groups. Such extralingual factors
as economic, ideological and cultural also should be taken into consideration.
Names always contain imprints of society’s culture and ideology. As onyms are
words and a part of linguistics their lexical, semantic and structural features should
also be analyzed.
Name is a very important component part of corporate identity of any
enterprise. Being officially recorded, ergonym begins
to function in speech and
cannot be assigned to another object. The use of any names, including advertising,
may be carried out only with the permission of the copyright holder.
This investigation is devoted to naming processes in Ukranianergonymiya,
which isdifferent and polylingual. Ergonyms began to form in a language system at
the turn of the XIX-XX centuries[2, р. 56]. Historical features of settling in certain
territories originally contributed to names formation. Thus, the settlers from the
Crimea brought Urumand Rumeyan names intotoponymiya in southern areas,
which later began to be used in ergonymiya. Later in the nineteenth century,
merchants and craftsmen, who migrated to the Azov seashore from Italy, also had
an impact on
the formation of naming system, trying to reflect in the names the
characteristics of their national culture and way oflife. The development of coal
mines on the south-eastern territory and the inflow of British capital caused the
emersion of English names for service facilities and
entertainment places in a
residence of foreigners who came to work. In the past, companies usually got the
names of their owners[3, р. 38].
A lot of events happened on the territory of Ukraine during the XX-thcentury
which were reflected in names formation too. In 20s sudden changes in the society
caused the first wave of renaming. It was necessary to delete tsar’s symbols,
memorialize new soviet leaders, and provide certain promotional, advertising
goals.
After the revolution, in 20-30s and till the early 90s of the previous century
the names of ideological plan came into use and some of them have not lost their
ideological and political significance to the present day: shop
