Etymology

From имен- (imen-, name) + -тельный (-telʹnyj), formed by analogy to other cases such as роди́тельный (rodítelʹnyj, genitive) that end in -и́тельный (-ítelʹnyj) (the corresponding verb is actually именова́ть (imenovátʹ, to name)). Calque of Ancient Greek ὀνομαστική (onomastikḗ, for naming).
