In the present master thesis, I have studied the toponyms in the region of Ávži, located in the municipality of Guovdageaidnu. By studying the toponyms, I have explored the traditional utilization and management of natural resources and livelihood of the local people. A syntactic-semantic-based analysis method was conducted, in which one studies the reason for naming and the semantic content of the toponyms. In the present study, a total of 323 place names have been collected. The area of research includes Ávžejohka (river), the Ávži village, Vuorašvárri (mountain), Vuorašjávri (lake) and Nammajávri (lake). The results indicate that 32% of the material collected are related to the management and utilization of natural resources and to the traditional livelihood, and the majority of the place names are associated with agriculture and fishing.
