Dithematic name

A dithematic name is a single-word given name consisting of two compounded lexemes or stems. They are commonly dated from pre-Christian times among Indo-Europeans,[1][2][3] in particular, Lithuanians,[4][5][6] Germanic, and Slavic peoples.[7][8][9]

Single-lexeme names or monothematic names are names based on a single lexeme/stem.

Polish linguist Zofia Kaleta asserts that many Old Germanic and Old Slavic dithematic given names reflected wishes for newborns.[7]

Since dithematic names are often long, they became truncated, first as diminutives, which had later become regular given names of their own.[10] Czech examples: Rostislav – Rost; Svatopluk – Pluk; Radomír – Radim; Sbyslav – Sbych; Sdeslav – Sdeš, Sdenĕk (Zdeněk); Dobromil – Došek; Přemysl – Přek; Budihost – Buň.[11]
