Abstract

Toponymy is the discipline that studies the place names, or the names of places and is linked to lexicology, the science that can be defined as the scientific study of the lexicon. The aim of this study is to identify the role of culture and identity in the naming process places. We will support in addressing the Cultural Geography and Humanistic to understand, in more depth, the conceptual notion of place. The appointment of the places is directly related to the modus vivendi of human groups, and cultural factors and identity are essential in this process. As theoretical-methodological course, we will use the authors: Dick (1990, 1990a),Andradee Bastiane (2012), Holzer (2003) e Tuan (1979, 2012).
