Abstract
The given article deals with structural and semantic features of Great Britain’s toponymy. The author examines those historical peculiarities of the English language development which influenced geographical proper names; classifies toponyms according to their etymology as well as investigates foreign elements within contemporary names structure. In the course of carried out research the author draws a conclusion that toponyms reflect the whole British Isles’ history and were formed under the influence of Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and Norman-French. This fact, finally, yielded one common system of names.
