Microtoponyms differ from the place names in the general nomenclature and are the names that are found in the genus place names (aphrodisiacs) part of the place names (toponyms), not in the special place names (onyms) part. Microtoponyms, which constitute one of the sub-branches of place names and are found in the literature as locality names, siliconyms, and micro-geographical names, are very important for toponymy because they only exist in public memory and can only be determined by compiling them. In addition, microtoponyms are also very valuable, especially in terms of the ancient/archaic elements they contain. In this study, it is aimed to identify the microtoponyms in Azerbaijani Turkish and to reveal the ancient/archaic traces they carry in terms of vocabulary. For this purpose, the existence of microtoponyms will be determined by scanning individual studies on Azerbaijani Turkish dialects, especially the Azerbaijan Dictionary of Dialectology, and the archaic traces of these microtoponyms will be revealed.
