The analysis examines naming practices in the field of urbanonymic regionalistics. In particular, naming preferences of the inhabitants of different areas are studied. There have been distinguished six motifs in naming objects, which may be: 1) named after someone or something, or their names may be: 2) landmark-related 3) property-related 4) desire-related 5) tradition-related 6)fashion-related, the first three being most prevalent. Beginning with 19th century, a growing interest in naming objects after persons may be regarded as a result of the global tendency to increase the role of specific historical individuals, spreading personal freedoms on all spheres of life, including naming activities. The characteristics of quantity and quality listed in the motifs in use during 16th–20th centuries are explained largely by objectives and cultural potential of the region and the individuals after whom something is named themselves rather than by the time interval.
