Abstract

This toponymic overview establishes the reason for naming parts of the toponym fund of the cadastral municipality of Mošćenička Draga in the territory of the administrative unit of the same name on the eastern Istrian coast. The primary focus has been placed on toponyms found within the area of the Učka Nature Park. The most common toponyms among the collected sample are those motivated by the relief. The overview has earmarked seven mythology motivated toponyms. In addition, it offers new interpretation of the oronym Učka.
