Estudo toponímico dos bairros e distritos de Farroupilha-RS

Abstract

This text presents the analysis of toponyms that name the twenty six neighborhoods and four districts of Farroupilha, RS. The main objective of our study was to identify and classify the toponyms and explain the main themes motivators that determine them. We analyzed thirty names.The search results are displayed by filling lexicographical toponymic chips, the model of them is the same proposed by Maria Vicentina de Paula do Amaral Dick, a researcher who contributed much for our research through the theoretical principles of toponymy, which were studied and adapted by her for the Brazilian reality. The main result of the research we cite is the fact that much of the cultural territory of the Italian immigrants who occupied the region under study have been maintained through the names of the places they inhabited. We also sought to investigate the names that have been replaced by others over the years and the reasons for such changes.
