Abstract:	Starting from the theoretical premises regarding the relation between proper and common names, this article attempts an analysis of toponyms formed from appellatives that describe plains and plateaus. The various forms of relief of the Bistra and Sebeş valleys (the Caraş-Severin District) are illustrated by the large number and the diversity of popular geographical terms used in toponymy as main source for the names of places. By analyzing the appellatives which create the toponyms under scrutiny, it will be seen that they are mentioned in the literature. The most frequent appellatives are: poiană, padină, şes and plai. They depict the landscape of the villages that have been analysed. Partant des prémisses théoriques concernant le rapport entre le nom propre et le nom commun, le but de cet article est de faire une analyse des toponymes issus d’appellatifs désignant des plateaux ou des plaines. La variété du relief des vallées de Bistra et de Sebeş (le département de Caraş-Severin, Roumanie) est reflétée dans la diversité et l’immense richesse des termes géographiques populaires d’où la toponymie a choisi, avec générosité, le matériel fondamental pour la dénomination des noms de lieux. Analysant les appellatifs qui composent les toponymes envisagés, nous sommes arrivés à la conclusion qu’ils sont attestés par les ouvrages de spécialité. La supériorité numérique revient aux appellatifs: poiană, padină, şes et plai qui composent le paysage des localités qui ont suscité notre intérêt.
