This paper is devoted to the names for 'shirt' in Slavic languages, both historical, and contemporary, their etymology, derivational relations and geography. The analysed names originate from Slavic *sraky, srakъve (Old-Church-Slavonic срачица, сракыъве), Slovenian srajca, Ukrainian, Russian сорочка; the words, documented only in Old-Slavonic (хитонъ, котыга), coming from the ancient languages; the words, the former the Proto Slavonic *gzlo (characteristic to Western Slavic); contemporary names, being an early loan-word from Latin casula (present in the majority of the Slavonic languages); the name риза, being a name for 'shirt' only in Bulgarian (in other languages it has another meaning) and typical East-Slavonic names, such as рубашка and косоворотка 'a Russian folk shirt'.
