As a result of our research, English onomastics shows that there are close associative links between language and culture, historical reality, and as a result, metaphorical shades and stylistic connotations appear in the semantics of onomastic units. Like other metaphorical meanings, onomastic connotations have been filtered through the English worldview, folklore, legends, and national psychology, and have become means of stylistic expression. Stylistic onomastics covers the expressive, satirical, humorous features of artistic style. The ethnic character of the people speaking this language, as well as the objective features of toponyms have a certain role in the emergence of stylistic nuances.
