the article examines the specifics of functioning of the component Jumal 'God' in Karelian lexemes. Names with the semantics "God", as well as terms containing the composite under consideration as part of complex words in the Karelian language in comparison with Vepsian, Finnish and Russian languages are analyzed. Objective: to determine the role of the lexeme Jumal 'God' in the formation of cultural and linguistic thesaurus of the Karelians. Research materials: Karelian-language linguistic sources. Results and novelty of the research: the author examines the semantic and motivational principles of nomination of Karelian names containing the component Jumal 'God' in genitive or nominative construction. In addition, terms with the semantics 'God' that are important in the aspect of spiritual culture are analyzed. Their etymological, word-formation and ethnolinguistic analysis is revealed. As a result of the study, 20 dialect variants were identified that denote God in the Karelian language and have different origins: Russian borrowings, substantivized participles, denominal nouns, as well as lemmas of Baltic-Finnish origin. The name Jumal functions most widely in the linguistic picture of the world of the Karelians and other peoples: in the names of diseases, Christian terminology, as well as meteorological vocabulary. In the vocabulary under study, linguistic and cultural contacts of the Karelians, Vepsians, Finns and Russians are traced. The scientific novelty of the research is due to the first comprehensive study of the functioning of the component Jumal 'God' in Karelian lexemes
