Abstract
The purpose of the scientific article is to establish the main historical sources of the inventory and subsequent comparative-historical interpretation of geographical names in the Oka and Sura regions, to compare three approaches to this problem, reflected in the works of well-known scientists: historian I.K. Engevatov, linguists G.P. Smolitskaya and D.V. Tsygankin. The results of the study in practical terms are designed to: 1) to enrich and update the relevant articles on onomatology and comparative studies of Finno-Ugric scholars, Turkologists and Slavists; 2) to clarify the views of historians and ethnologists/ ethnographers about specific moments of ethnic and linguistic contacts in Eastern Europe (in the Oka and the Sura regions). The results of the research in the future should initiate new works devoted to a particular class of geographical nomenclature terms in the historical perspective within the boundaries of the Slavic, Finno-Ugric and Turkic languages.
