Toponymy is the taxonomic study of toponyms (place-names), their origins and their meanings. The word is derived from the Greek τόπος topos, place, and oνομα ōnoma, name. It is itself a branch of onomastics, the study of names of all kinds.
A toponym is a name of a locality, region, or some other part of Earth's surface or an artificial feature. In some cultures, most or all such place names have a definite meaning in the language; this is not the case, generally, for place names in the English language.
In linguistics and ethnology, a toponym is a name derived from a place or a region. In anatomy, a toponym is a name of a region of the body, as distinguished from the name of an organ. In biology, a toponym is a binomial name of a plant.
