The aim of the paper is to present how the part of the structure of the name can create a picture

groups of these names were discussed, for example: the most traditional/standard names of credit
and debit cards as well as preferential cards, cards addressed to women, young people and specific,
so called, social cards. The similarities and differences of the economic systems of both countries
