Name «Vyshata»

The name 'Vyshata' has ancient Slavic origins and is a masculine name derived from the two-root names such as Vyshebor, Vyshegnyev, Vyshimir, and Vysheslav. In these names, the main part is the adverb "vyše," which means 'more,' to which the diminutive suffix -ata is added.The first written mention of this name is preserved in the ancient Russian patronymic "Ioann Vyshatych" (1016 - 1106) – the son of Vyshata Ostromir and brother of Putyata Vyshatych, a Kyiv nobleman. In 1043, a voivode Vyshata Ostromir is mentioned in Kyiv, and in 1071 – the son of the Kyiv thousand-holder Yan Vyshatych. In 1220, in the former village of Dravtsi, located near the city of Vynohradiv, royal castle servants bore names such as Craznet, Coetan, and Wisata. The name Vyshata is also mentioned in the early 13th century in other settlements in the Upper and Middle Tysa basin.In Galicia, the name Vyshata was borne in 1243 by the nobleman of Daniel of Galicia – the voivode Vyshata Ostromirovych, son of Ostromir-Yosyp. In addition, in 1232, the patronymic Vyshatych is mentioned, notably David Vyshatych. Old Polish written monuments testify to derivatives of this name in the form of Wyszatyc(s)ki.
