The article provides a comparative analysis of the use of mythonyms and theonyms in onomastic subcorps of the world's major languages – English, German, Czech, Kazakh, and Tatar. The research is focused on defining their mention frequency in several textual styles and cultural code analysis which marked these naming units. Using the computer-assisted methods of text searching and passportization, the authors researched the scope and content of the database focusing on motivational analysis of the terms mentioned. Particular attention was paid to the comparison of pragmatics and cultural semantics of theonyms including their use in phraseologisms. The research results emphasized the sematic and structural convergences and differences between the languages by having beneficial effect on better understanding of expressions and thinking ways in various linguistic and cultural contexts.

In ancient Egypt, kings were believed to have both cosmic and political roles. One of the tools they employed to announce such roles was their royal titularies. This paper conducted a thematic analysis of the titularies of all native ancient Egyptian kings over the seven dynastic periods (from 3150 B.C. to 332 B.C.). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to conduct this thematic analysis of 1,164 titularies embraced by 260 native Egyptian kings in the fields of Onomastics or Egyptology. We examined the linguistic repertoire used in these titularies employing two methods: manual and via Word Counter and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program. The analysis yielded three main themes: Relation to the divine, theme of war and conflict, and relation to the land. Findings revealed a marked consistency in the thematic distribution across periods and titulary categories. Findings also showed significant changes in the use of theonyms and toponyms in all periods.
