Geographical names, also known as toponyms, refer to the names given to specific places, features, or regions on the Earth's surface. These names can include countries, cities, rivers, mountains, and other natural or man-made landmarks. They help in identifying and locating places, making communication about geography clearer. The study of geographical names involves understanding their origins, meanings, and cultural significance. Many geographical names are derived from local languages, historical events, or notable figures. For example, the name Mount Everest honors Sir George Everest, while Amazon River is named after the indigenous people of the region.
