The article is devoted to the analysis of the phenomenon of mythonyms and military terms on the examples of various translations of the works of J. R. R. Tolkien into Ukrainian. The paper highlights and analyzes the motives for implementing translation decisions regarding the adaptation of the phenomenon of mythonyms for the Ukrainian audience based on the original and translations into Ukrainian of the works «The Hobbit» and the trilogy «The Lord of the Rings». This paper also examines the differences between different translations of books and their impact on understanding the context and mood of the work.
