The name 'Putylo' is an East Slavic name formation with an augmentative format -ilo. It derives from the shortened two-root names of the models Putivoy and Putislav, as well as from the truncated-suffix form Putyata, while preserving the prepositional component 'put', which means 'road'. Various forms of this name have been recorded in sources: Putylo Vakulich, Karp Putylovich from Mozyr, and Prokop Putyło. There are also patronymic forms such as Andriy Putivlych, who was a voivode in Galicia, and records of Putylovich from Belarus.Additionally, there is a toponym Putylivka, located in the Kovel district of the Volyn region. In the 16th to 17th centuries, the name Putylo was quite common in Russia.
