Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with microtoponyms of Barjamovica, Markovina and Velestovo. The corpus used for this purpose, obtained throught a systematic field collection, contains 650 terms. The aim of this paper is to examine singularities of microtoponymic units, to analyze their function in communication, as well as to determine etymology of certain toponyms. The examples given in the paper confirm a thesis that a large number of terms in question is created through the use of metonymy.
