“…Considering toponymy as a language of landscape (Atik et al, 2022) makes an important contribution to ethnoecological studies (Capra et al, 2015b what name each object to be mapped must be known and recorded (Kavaratzis & Ashworth, 2008;Perdana & Ostermann, 2018;Tichelaar, 2002). In fact, if studied more deeply, toponymy contains much geographical information that can be used as a basis for studying geosphere phenomena in a place because even though toponymy often has deep meanings involving complex semantics related to language and history (Ardanuy & Sporleder, 2017;Capra et al, 2015b;Luo et al, 2017;Radding & Western, 2010) (Capra et al, 2015;Ardanuy & Sporleder, 2017), but many toponyms also describe the features they name (Conedera et al, 2007;Perdana & Ostermann, 2018;Reinoso & Tort, 2015).…”

<span>Every object in the form of an earth element or man-made feature has a name with various origins. The origins of place names can be categorized based on geography, history, folklore/culture and language so that their spatial distribution can be known. This research explores the spatial distribution of the origins of naming earth elements and man-made features in the Giritontro District. The study begins by identifying the aspects of the earth's appearance and man-made features and then finding the meaning of naming each identified element. Data collection was carried out using in-depth interviews. Determining the sources used the snowball sampling method. The results of the research show that the toponymically identified objects are dominated by man-made features with a spatial distribution of 92% in Giritontro Village, 72% in Pucanganom Village, 52% in Tlogosari Village and 78% in Jatirejo Village. The remainder is dominated by the earth's elements of the Karst Area, such as caves, hills, and springs, with a spatial distribution of Bayemharjo Village at 63%, Ngargojarjo at 53% and Tlogoharjo Village at 66%. Meanwhile, the spatial distribution of toponymy in Giritontro District, whose origin is dominated by language, is known to be spread across Giritontro District with a percentage of 60%. Apart from that, the toponymy found was predominantly geographically dispersed across Pucanganom Village with a portion of 40%, Tlogosari Village at 60%, Jatirejo Village at 61%, Bayemharjo Village at 61%, Ngargoharjo Village at 57% and Tlogoharjo Village 46%. The geographical conditions referred to are those attached to the object or the object's proximity to geographical things (associations) which are dominant in the Karst Area. </span>
