The article examines the diachronic process that happened in the names of the months. Based on the analysis of the East Slavic names of the spring months
both similarities and differences of the kindred languages are revealed. One of the differences is caused by the semantic shift, which occurred in the inner form of those lexemes due to extralinguistic factors.
Key words: Slavic languages, the nominations of months, inner form, nomination, similarities, distinctions, semantics, semantic shift.
