Chronological Features of Settlement Names Referring to the Natural Environment In this paper I examine the chronological features of settlement names referring to the natural environment. My objective is to find out when and in what propor-tion this name type and its structural categories (names without a formant, single-component and two-component names) appeared in sources from the Old Hungari-an Era and how their frequency changed during the centuries. My findings based on the relative chronological analysis are compared with the chronological features of the settlement names referring to people. For this comparative study, I chose a sub-category of names referring to the human environment, the type of settlement names formed from the names of social groups (ethnonyms, names of tribes, and occupational names). Keywords: toponyms from the early Old Hungarian Era, settlement names referring to the natural environment, frequency, relative chronology, comparative studies
