Summary/Abstract: The study deals with toponymic space as part of the social space in which individuals and different societies exist. Based on the analogy between the appellative vocabulary, which uses the term communication register, a set of toponyms used in social groups is called social toponyms. These form a toponymic register of the concrete social group. Talking about an individual, we talk about the toponymic register of the individual, which is formed by sub-registers of societies, of which that individual is a part. Social groups that use their own social toponyms can be divided according to age (infant, youth), profession (forest workers, peasants), interest (hunters, fishermen, sportsmen).
