Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the changes that occurred in the ways of official naming of persons in the Ukrainian literary language of the 21st century. The reasons for these changes have been clarified, substantiated and evaluated from the point of view of practical expediency. Two- and three-component anthroponomic models of official names of persons were used as the material for the study. They were selected for the period 2000–2022 from written texts of one functional and stylistic sphere of Ukrainian language practice, namely official and business discourse, in case of which the use of official names of persons is mandatory. The typical manifestations of trends in the use of patronyms in the Ukrainian literary language of the 21st century are comprehensively characterized. The regularities of the use of anthroponomic models depending on the functional and stylistic sphere of language practice are presented. This article makes an attempt to predict the future trends of using patronymics in modern language practice.
