Summary/Abstract: The article presents the analysis of chrononymes connected with five earlyspring Bulgarian folk festivals ( st. Tryphon's day, Bogurodzica [Mother of Christ] - Orthodox celebration of the Meeting with Christ, st. Simeon's day, st. Charalambos' day, st. Blaise of Sebaste's day). In the excerpted names, both syntactic as well as analytic structures were authenticated, and within their limits - phonetic, word-formative and lexical variants. Due to their motivation, they create three basic models the two former of which may overlap: 1) names based on name and/or nickname of a festival patron; 2) names referring to folk beliefs connected with a given festive day; 3) names referring to the ritual context - rituals undertaken during the commemoration of a festival.
