Summary/Abstract: The derivational process played an essential part in the diversification of the Serbian inventory of personal names. The system of feminine names is extremely rich in derivatives and derived hypocoristic forms. The article analyses several issues regarding the structure of the feminine derivatives and treats a series of simple and compound, productive and less productive suffixes that lead to the formation of feminine names in the Serbian language.
