He purpose of the presented work is to systematize the structure of the onomastic space of Olga Ipatova's novel "The Priest of Gediminas" taking into account the historical traditions of the Slavic nameologist. The article examines the cultural ideas reflected in the semantics of poetonyms, which form the basis of the mentality of the Slavs of the XIII–XIV centuries, when the Christian faith interacted with pagan cults. The relevance of the work is due to the fact that the study of the onomastic space of the work was carried out from the standpoint of such a direction of modern linguistics as linguopragmatics.
