The personal name "Skorobor" is based on the microtoponym Skorobor, which was recorded near the village of Dykan'ka in the Poltava region in 1632. This word is part of Slavic onomastics. A similar naming model is also found in the case of a royal envoy in Zatiss in the 13th century, with the name Ladislaus Scorcomer. Among other ancient Slavic names of this type, one can mention Skorogost, Skoromir, Skorowoj, and Skorol'ub.
