Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the functioning of unofficial anthroponyms in Sergiusz Piasecki’s criminal trilogy. The author collected 49 anthroponyms. The analysis included assigning the anthroponyms into categories on the basis of their motivation and word formation. The present paper demonstrated that unofficial anthrop- onyms perform several functions in the prose of Sergiusz Piasecki, including: identification and differentia- tion of characters, pragmatic and social functions.
