| Abstract: | The age, origins and structure of the settlement names in Kose Parish in Estonia are examined in this paper. A classification is provided for the age-based groupings of the settlement names (the main groups are older or indigenous names, on the one hand, and newer names, on the other). Moreover, the division of the names based on their origins and structure is also introduced. Then the disparities between the origins and structure of the settlement name layers are discussed in order to determine the differences and similarities that appear in older and newer settlement name layers and to understand which aspects of the names are more enduring through various periods and which aspects can change as a result of the conditions during these periods. |
