Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of oikonyms of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), formed from the names of flora and fauna. The relevance of this work is due to the fact that the names of the settlements of Yakutia, which appeared from the names of plants, animals, birds, fish, have not previously been subjected to systematization and classification. The purpose of the study is to determine the place of zoo- and phytooikonyms in the toponymic system of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time a detailed study of thematic groups of zoo- and phytooikonyms is carried out, taking into account linguistic and ethno-cultural aspects. It is determined which of the names of animals and plants were most often used to form the names of settlements (cities, villages, towns). As a result of lexical, ethno-cultural and statistical analysis of the group of proper names under consideration, it was concluded that zoo- and phyto-oikonyms play a crucial role in the toponymic system of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia): they make up more than 20 % of all nominations of settlements and are the result of the formation material and spiritual culture of the peoples inhabiting this region. It was found that the most common zooikonyms are formed from the names of animals most revered by the peoples of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia): deer, horse/horse, bear. Among phytooikonyms, the most common were the names of settlements formed from the words: pine, larch, birch, marsh marigold. The analysis of the thematic group of oikonyms derived from the names of plants and animals proposed in the article can become part of a comprehensive study of the entire toponymic system of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
