Abstract

The Naming of Princes in Kievan Rus' as a Historical Source

The naming practice of the Rurikid dynasty reflects different factors: the Scandinavian (va-rangian) and Slavonic traditions are combined with each other and both were influenced by the Byzantine Christian tradition. During the Kievan period most of the princes had a traditional name as well as a Christian one, according to their patron saints. The analysis of naming practice reveals a changing tradition, while the examples from the Halych-Volhynian line of the dynasty point out the significance of names as historical sources.
