Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the phenomena of transonymisation in Baltic and Slavonic languages. The proper names formed on the bases of ethnonyms Latysh, Lotvin, Latgalec are investigated as an example. It is established that the basis for the formation and development of ancient onims are broad and diversified cooperation onomastic macro concepts – anthroponymic concept of man and toponymic concept of space, which is manifested in various categories of aggravated transonymisation of ancient names. The ancient names and their components can be found in modern family names represented in onimastic systems of the related languages.
