Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the specificity of occasional onomasticon in the cycle of novelsby Dmitriy Emets (b. 1974) featuring Tanya Grotter, which is an outstanding exampleof fantasy literature, playing an important role in the modern cultural space, andtargeted mainly at children and teenagers. It has been established that while creatingthe onomastic space of the cycle the author draws parallels with J. Rowling’s novelsabout Harry Potter and forms onyms – occasionalisms based on the precedent names(folk, mythological, religious, literary, and historical), foreign language vocabulary,phraseology, etc. The desire to comprehend the author’s intention and to understand thecharacteristics presented in onyms not only motivates readers to expand their horizon,but also engages them in cross-cultural communication.
