The article examines the lexical and semantic potential of toponymy of the South Coast of the Crimea, identifies thematic groups of Crimean toponyms, among which the author distinguishes the lexical and semantic fields of toponyms that reflect in their meaning anthroponyms, topos, flora and fauna, human activity; the article substantiates the rationality of this approach to the semantic division of the toponymy of the South Coast of the Crimea. The functional aspect of Crimean toponyms is also revealed, since geographical names are a unique source of information about the Crimea, as they reveal its history, culture, traditions and customs of natives.
