What do the words "marathon", "paisley", and "bikini" have in common? They’re all words that derive from the names of places. Martha and Grant talk about these and other "toponyms". This is part of a complete episode.

"Toponymy" or "toponomastics" is the study of place names ("toponyms"), their origins, meanings, use and typology. In a more restricted sense, the term "toponymy" refers to an inventory of "toponyms", while the discipline researching such names is referred to as "toponomastics". "Toponymy" is itself a branch of "onomastics", the study of names of all kinds.
A "toponymist" is one who studies "toponymy". "Toponym" is the general name for any place or geographical entity. More specific types of "toponym" include: "hydronym" for a body of water; and "oronym" for a mountain or hill.
