Summary/Abstract: This text presents onyms, as well as the toponyms as components in Bulgarian, Serbo-Croat and Czech phrasemes. Toponyms are not the most common onyms among phraseological units. Perhaps that is why they remain a bit on the margins of research interest (compared to anthroponyms, for example). The phraseological units with a toponymic component which we collected using the phraseological dictionaries of the above-mentioned languages of view may be classified as comparisons, syntagms (collocations) and (poly)sentences from a formal perspective. Our focus in this article was on nominal collocations and their classification. From the point of view of the syntactic structure, we divided the collected phrasemes into six groups. We collected most examples in groups with syntactic structure Adj + TOP (e.g.: Bulg. tamna Indiya) and Subst + prep + TOP (e.g.: S-Cr. ujak iz Amerike).
