Abstract

This study represents a first approach regarding the geo toponymy of Drăgoiasa-Tulgheş depression alignment, a less known and less visible component of the Eastern Carpathians, that of small depressions, which involved an analysis of the theoretic aspects in regards to toponymy, but also involving my own studies, perceived and intepreted based on the field research. The study of the names of places found in this area was conducted froma geographic perspective, through geographic methods, which allowed me to classify or at least try to classify some toponyms and decipher their original meaning.
