THE CLASSIFICATION OF KARAKALPAK AND ENGLISH TOPONYMS

Toponym is the study of names of places, specifically their meanings, typology, use, and origins. The term toponym is derived from the Greek word topos meaning "region" and onoma meaning "to name." The study of regional names is called toponymy which is a branch of onomastics. Toponym also refers to a geographical entity or any general name for any place. Therefore, it is a good way to study toponyms by dividing them into categories which they belong to. As a result, the main focus of the research is to classify toponyms according to their principles in English and Karakalpak languages
