Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of numerous Ukrainian ergonyms, in particular, 29,826 names of hotel business, cultural and entertainment facilities, shops, hairdressers and beauty salons, medical services and pharmacies located in regional centers and other cities of Ukraine were analyzed. Mostly names are in Ukrainian, as well as some names were borrowed from other languages. The main way of names formation is appeallativian. These ergonomics were analyzed and an attempt to classify them was made. The Ukrainian names of objects of human activity of appellativian origin are conditionally divided into fifteen subgroups, namely: patriotic and folklore names which reflect the national colour, ergonyms with direct indication of the type of activity, names with partially veiled semantics, lexems indicating quality of conditions and services, abstract romantic appellativian names, names formed from names of plants with positive connotation, names formed from names of animals with positive connotation, names formed from names of precious stones, names-diminutives that indicate the small size of the institution, names with an indication of natural realities, names indicating the peculiarities of the location, phrases with the lexem  golden, phrases with the word old, phrases indicating colour, names determining gender orientation. All analyzed names have a positive stylistic and perform an advertising function.

The use of the onymian method of Ukrainian ergonyms formation is shown. Among the names come from onyms, there are various numerous ergonyms created from antroponyms and toponyms, and most of them formed by transonymization of names and surnames, names of places. Attention is also paid to the transonymization of other categories of onyms such as mythonyms, poetonyms, pragmatonyms, zoonyms, anemonyms, cosmonyms, filmonyms, musicgrouponyms and transonymized titles. Etymological analyze of some names is also given.

The use of various ergonomic terms has been shown, which in some cases work like names and indicate the size of the institution.
