О личним именима митолошких бића у неким словенским клетвама и фразеологији

The topic of the paper is the interpretation of the motivation for the personal names of certain mythological beings in curses and phrases of Slavic peoples. Curses, as well as certain phraseologisms,  can  preserve  the  names  long-forgotten  in  the  mythical  and  religious  systems. However,  due  to  their  lapidarity  and  lack  of  ritual  context,  these  names  create  the opportunity  for  different  interpretations.  The  paper  analyzes  the  meanings  of  names,  with a mythological connotation: Maren, Ivan/Jovan,Andjelija,Jana/Janja, and Vid/Vidok.
