Christopher Merritt: "To Give Place a Name: Reflections of History on the Uinta Mountain Landscape"
Naming of place transforms natural features into cultural landscapes that reflect both the particularities of the physical environment and the interests, perspectives, and commemorations of human actors. Throughout the 20th century place-names, or toponym, studies focused on detailing the history of names without much critical analysis of the cultural or social implications of this naming, or how these names reflect a multi-cultural and multi-generational historical tool to understand past landscapes. More recently geographers, historians, and anthropologists are starting to investigate the role of place names in both the passive reflection of historical processes and actors and of the active social implications of toponyms. The Uinta Mountains in northeast Utah are a unique geological and ecological landscape stretching for over 130 miles east/west and rising to over 13,000 feet. Place names lain upon physical features such as water bodies, peaks, meadows, and the built human environment reflect the totality of past human experience in the Uintas. Commemorative place names highlight the presence of fur trappers, explorers, forest rangers, and Native American tribes, with oral histories providing additional ethnic place names not reflected on historic or contemporary maps. It is also important to analyze the omission of certain people or populations, and the reasons for such lack of cultural place names. Naming creates a means of placing personal experience into a palimpsest of history, and turning the vast stretches of rocks, trees, and water into a culturally known and understood place.- published: 01 Oct 2013

Den vědy FF UK 2014: Proměny názvosloví veřejných prostranství [...] (Milan Hlavačka)
Po roce 1945 došlo k odgermanizování a k terminologické očistě území, respektive k likvidaci všech německých toponym, zvláště v pohraničí a zvláště pak těch, která odkazovala na bývalé vlastnické vztahy, a k likvidaci přívlastku Německý i v českém názvosloví, čímž došlo k totálnímu počeštění (poslovanštění, nacionalizaci) celého území českých zemí. Přednáška bude věnována přejmenování ulic a veřejných prostranství především v letech po druhé světové válce. Bude se snažit ukázat, že hlavním motivem k přejmenování nebyla snaha po dobré orientaci, ale „potřeba sladit jména ulic s požadavky doby". http://denvedy.cz- published: 04 Apr 2014

Montmartre
Montmartre
Ep. 6: Montmartre Montmartre is primarily known for the Basilica of the Sacré Cœur on its summit and as a nightclub district. Many artists had studios or worked around the community of Montmartre such as Salvador Dalí, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh. Montmartre is also the setting for several hit films. The toponym Mons Martis ("Mount of Mars" in Latin) survived into Merovingian times, Christianised as Montmartre,[1] signifying 'mountain of the martyr'; it owes this name to the martyrdom of Saint Denis who was decapitated on the hill around 250 AD. To go there : This site is served by metro line 2 stations of Anvers, Pigalle and Blanche and the line 12 stations of Pigalle, Abbesses, Lamarck - Caulaincourt and Jules Joffrin.- published: 03 Aug 2014

Chesil Beach Dorset England UK
Chesil Beach Dorset England UK
Chesil Beach, sometimes called Chesil Bank, in Dorset, southern England is one of three major shingle structures in Britain.Its toponym is derived from the Old English ceosel or cisel, meaning "gravel" or "shingle". The beach is often identified as a tombolo, although research into the geomorphology of the area has revealed that it is in fact a barrier beach which has "rolled" landwards, joining the mainland with the Isle of Portland, giving the appearance of a tombolo.The shingle beach is 29 kilometres (18 mi) long, 200 metres (660 ft) wide and 15 metres (50 ft) high. The beach and the Fleet are part of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the location for a 2007 novel, On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan. At the eastern end of the beach at the village of Chiswell, against the cliffs of the Isle of Portland, the beach curves round sharply to form Chesil Cove. This part of the beach protects the low-lying village from flooding. Westwards the shingle forms a straight line along the coast, enclosing the Fleet, a shallow[3] tidal lagoon. The beach provides shelter from the prevailing winds and waves for the town of Weymouth and the village of Chiswell.- published: 04 Jun 2014

Giraut de Borneill - No puesc sofrir la dolor
Giraut de Bornelh (1138 -- 1215), whose first name is also spelled Guiraut and whose toponym as de Borneil or de Borneyll, was a troubadour connected to the castle of the viscount of Limoges. Giraut was born to a lower-class family in the Limousin, probably in Bourney, near Excideuil in modern-day France. Guiraut might have accompanied Richard I of England and Aimar V of Limoges on the Third Crusade and stayed a while with the "good prince of Antioch", Bohemond III. He certainly made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, but perhaps before the Crusade.- published: 13 Mar 2014

Let's Play Kirby Return to Dreamland - Episode 12: I Feel the Burn!
I recognize that spark may not be the all mighty barrier that it appears to be, I recognize that fire is very useful today, and I misuse the word "toponym." School will take up some time very soon, but that may or may not delay the episodes too badly. I will have to see. However, the next episode will be up VERY soon. I can understand the skepticism. I hope you all enjoy! (Sorry this was a few days late). *Also, this is a re-upload.- published: 19 Dec 2013

Mesopotamia Secrets of the Forgotten Empire of Mesopotamia documentary english part 4
The regional toponym Mesopotamia comes from the ancient Greek root words μέσος (meso) "middle" and ποταμός (potamia) "river" and literally means "(Land) between rivers". It is used throughout the Greek Septuagint (ca. 250 BC) to translate the Hebrew equivalent Naharaim. An even earlier Greek usage of the name Mesopotamia is evident from the Anabasis Alexandri, which was written in the late 2nd century AD, but specifically refers to sources from the time of Alexander the Great. In the Anabasis, Mesopotamia was used to designate the land east of the Euphrates in north Syria. The Aramaic term biritum/birit narim corresponded to a similar geographical concept- published: 26 Nov 2013
