Abstract
The study of toponymic folklore allows for an exploration of the linguistic worldview and the peculiarities of the everyday life of a particular people. Toponymic legends and narratives, as part of the cultural heritage, reflect all aspects of human spiritual and material life, individuality, and mentality. The aim of the article "Toponymic folklore researches in the Eurasian space" is likely to explore and analyze the theoretical frameworks and methodologies involved in studying toponymic legends or narratives associated with place names – within the diverse cultural and geographical context of the Eurasian region. The methodological foundation for studying toponymic legends and narratives in the Eurasian space is based on the use of theoretical and conceptual approaches from various scientific disciplines, such as folklore, history, cultural studies, ethnography, ethnology, linguistics, and philosophy. In conclusion, it is noted that the study of toponymic narratives in the Eurasian space not only demonstrates their cultural, historical, and social value, but also reveals the basis for the formation of cultural ties between peoples. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the results of the scientific article can be used in educational institutions for developing courses and programs in folklore studies, history, cultural studies, ethnography, and linguistics. This enables students to gain in-depth knowledge about toponymic legends and narratives, their cultural and historical significance.
