The Old Slavic men‘s personal names Chot(e)mir, Chotebor, Chotislav, Chotemyslъ are composed of the component chot-, with a spell variant choc- (in the meaning of wishing something, praying for something, wanting something) and of the appellative mirъ, or bor, or verb slaviti, or appellative myslъ. Geographical names originating in these personal names and in their abridged forms, such as Chotek, Chotko, Choteš, Choten, are largely deployed throughout the Slavic language area. The naming process of studied settlement names from the territory of Slovakia reaches the period of arrival of the Slavs to the present area of Slovakia and to the first centuries of their settlement. This naming process was primarily oriented towards settlement geographical features (seats, yards, villages, solitudes, courts, sites, hamlets etc.). The testimony of the former personal names (Chot(e)mir, Chotebor, Chotislav, Chotemyslъ) active functioning in the Slovak language area (apart from the rare written documents) is provided mainly by the selected Slovak toponyms. The particularity of the study of the occurrence of geographical names with the word basis of chot-, especially from the category of toponyms of physical geographical features is that these toponyms offer also another etymological possible departure basis. The word basis of chot-, originally koč- and choč-, often occurs in geographical names of hills, peaks, elevations, mounds etc., originating from the Old Slavic toponymic appellative vocabulary (lexis).
