The article is devoted to one of the most famous Platonov’s story Fro. The plot is often interpreted as a “family” story, but the analysis shows that the content of the story is far beyond the framework of everyday psychology. The text contains many details that give the symbolic, timeless meanings to the depicted events. This feature is clearly manifested in the onomastics system of the story. The exotic onym “Fro” put in the title is the diminutive name of Efrosinya, perceived as an attribute of the heroine from the “profane” point of view. But within the framework of the artistic whole, onym “Fro” has the symbolic function as a “panhuman” name. “Fro” denotes the ideal “goal” of humanity, embodies the image of all-unity, symbolizes not only the future “meeting” of the heroes of the story, but also the community of people in the transformed world.
