Abstract
On the basis of field and archive research, an analysis is performed of around 500 toponymic forms from the villages Zavala, Golubinac, Belenići and Kijev Do — situated in the southeastern part of Popovo around the medieval settlement of Popovski grad. In the first part of the paper, the area analyzed is placed in its geographical and historical context. In the second part, demographic data is provided, as the area analyzed has been exposed to great migrations and changes in the national and religious composition of its inhabitants. In the third part, the author analyses the important linguistic characteristics of the local speeches, especially those which might contribute to a reconstruction of the pre-migration status of the local speeches. In the fourth part, an explanation of the local oikonymy and a description of these settlements are given. In the fifth and central part of the work, the local toponymy is analyzed in detail.
