Place name science, which analyses place names in various aspects, is one of the richest branches of name science in terms of vocabulary. The names given to the places where people live reflect the history, culture, beliefs, life and thought systems of nations. Therefore, collecting the names of a place, analysing them from various aspects and recording them is very important in terms of revealing the richness of the language as well as providing information about the people living in the region. Studies in this field in our country have not yet reached a sufficient level. Place names should be recorded before they are lost.
