Geographical Naming

Geographical naming, also known as toponymy, refers to the study and practice of names given to places and features on the Earth's surface. These names can reflect cultural, historical, or geographical significance and help us identify and navigate different locations. Examples include cities, rivers, mountains, and landmarks. Naming often involves understanding local languages, histories, and traditions, and it can influence how places are perceived. Accurate geographical naming is essential for effective communication, mapping, and understanding cultural heritage.
