The proposed investigation is a continuation of a series of studies devoted to the anthroponymy of the Zhytomyr region of the first half of the 20th century, which was not the object of a special onomastic study.
According to the semantics of the creative bases of the surnames of the Chudniv district of the Zhytomyr region of the «National Book of Memory of the Victims of the Holodomor of 1932–1933 in Ukraine», they are classified into three groups: 1) surnames based on anthroponyms (Christian and Slavic autochthonous names); 2) surnames based on appellative-anthroponymic names; 3) surnames based on appellative names.
