ENThe article deals with the etymological analysis of the mythonym Ockopirmus found in the Yatvigian Book. The etiology of the mythologeme is justified by the diversification of the authentic and innovative (i.e. late) ethno-mythological features predetermined by the convergence process. In summing up the results of the examination of the mythonym Ockopirmus, the following main conclusion is proposed: a pseudo-compound of the tatpuruṣa type Yatv. *(K)okupirmas / *(K)ukupirmas with the protosememe *“first in the rank of devils / sovereign of the familiars” is not a particular theonym, but an epithet of the deity Swayxtix “Lucifer”.
