Since childhood, hearing the names of streets, rivers and cities, we do not think about their meaning and origin, at best content with a universal answer: “This is how it happened historically.” What this phrase means in toponymics, and tells this book. Language development is influenced not only by cultural, political and social factors, but also by random events. Why did Moscow become Moscow? Where is the Hare Grove Street in Leningrad? What is the patronymic of the city of Khabarovsk and how to collect the Mendeleev table with the help of a map?
The famous linguist Lev Uspensky opens the veil of secrets over the origin of geographical names, each of which has its own roots and true historical significance. The book will be of interest to teachers, students and researchers in the humanities, as well as to anyone interested in linguistics, history and geography.
