Abstract

Based on field and archival research, around 300 toponyms of the village Orahovi Do in the southern part of Popovo are analyzed. In the first part of the paper, an overview of demographic conditions is given. This area has been exposed to great migrations, for which reason the area is twenty times less inhabited than it was at the end of the 15th century. In the second part of the paper, the topography of Orahovi Do is provided, as is data on local inhabitants in the present and in the past. In the third part, the toponymy of Orahovi Do is analyzed, in which toponyms of anthroponymic origin prevail.
