TYPES OF GEOGRAPHICAL TERMS IN TOPONYM DUE TO THEIR ORIGIN

Abstract

Toponymic data are of great interest to researchers from both scientific and practical perspectives. This is because toponymic research, especially determining the origin of land-water names, provides valuable information about the history, culture, ethnic origin, and language of the people living in that region. Land-water names (toponyms) are the result of a long historical period, in which the development of the language and its changes are reflected. In addition, land-water terms are considered important source for history, ethnography, archeology, geography, and other sciences.
