Name «Banylo»

The name "Banylo" originates from the names of settlements called Baniliv, which have been mentioned on the territory of Chernivtsi since the 15th century. For example, Baniliv over Seret (now Baniliv Pidhirny) is mentioned in 1428 as "Bьnмила" (Dictionary of Old Ukrainian Language, Volume 1, page 135). In 1900, it is noted as "Banila" near Seret (Carpathian Explanatory Dictionary, Volume 13). Baniliv Rusky (now Baniliv Vyzhnyansky, Chernivtsi) was mentioned in 1444 in the form "Баниловъ" (Dictionary of Old Ukrainian Language, Volume 1, page 86).The personal name "Banylo" is formed using the expressive Old Russian suffix "-ilo" from the name "Ban". This is reminiscent of ancient Slavic names such as Budilo, Dobryla, Muzhilo, Radilo, Tomilo, and others. The meaning of the name "Ban" can be found in the previous description.
