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”).
