Name «Dovhynia»

Dovhynia is an old Ukrainian male nickname that belongs to the onomastic category, similar to the names Dovhal and Dovhaya. It is derived from the adjective "dovhy" (long) using the suffix "-ynia," akin to Slavic names such as Dobryn, Dorohyn, Sviatyn, Sukhyn. It is known that in 1649, a Zaporizhian Cossack named Yatsko Dovhenia carried this name, and there is also the Polish surname Długosz.
