Summary/Abstract: The article presents the peculiarities of the etymology, semantics and functionality of French toponyms. The history of linguistic research on French toponyms has been clarified. French toponyms have been classified according to etymological marks. The toponyms have been characterized on the basis of lexical-graphical references, most of which consist of appellative vocabulary, and their main lexical-thematic groups have been separated according to lexical and semantic criteria.
