This research is held on the basis of analysis of common toponimic models. The analysis of ancient names of settlements with suffixes *-išče // *-isko at Pan-Slavic frontier (Galicia and Lviv Lands of the Ruthenian Voivodeship) in comparison with oikonyms of other Slavic territories is carried out by the author.
