Ethymology of the place name Вердерев

Summary/Abstract: The oiconym Вердеревъ is mentioned in a document from the end of the 14th cen¬tury. The historical place name is connected with today’s name of a village in Skopin region, Riazan district. Some scientists observe a connection between the name with a hydronym Вердa (V.P. Neroznak, M.H. Tyhomyrov, M.A. Yuyukin). This explana¬tion was called into question by the author: he proves that the oiconym Вердерев needs to be connected with a toponym Верх Дерево and adduces numerous similar geographic names in Slavic lands.
