Name «Domahost»

The personal name Domagost has its origins in records from 1437, where it appeared in plural form as a patronymic name of the village Domagostichi: in Domahosticze, and also as a Domagostichne in the record from 1447: de Domahosticze. This name is also related to the oikonym Domagostiska, which is now known as Dovhomostiska in the Mostyska district of the Lviv region. It is also worth mentioning the related town of Domagoszcz in the Chernigov land, located on the left bank of the Oka River, and the name Domagost, which has been noted in Slovakia since the 12th-13th centuries. The original form of this common Slavic personal name was likely Domagost. This name consists of the adverbial component "doma" and the deverbal noun "gost" (meaning 'merchant').
