Abstract
The article considers the history of geographical discoveries and research in the vastness of the Arctic in geographical names made by discoverers and researchers at different stages of time. In the sea spaces of the Arctic, there are a huge number of names of brave and dedicated navigators and explorers who have made a significant contribution not only to the history of science, but also to the economic use of the cold seas, thereby securing the Arctic territories of Russia, the territory of the country as a whole. The article analyzes the distribution of anthroponyms of the island Arctic within the north-east of the Russian Arctic, covering the time span of the 16th –18th centuries.
Anthroponym (ancient Greek ἄνθρωπος ‘person’ and ὄνομα ‘name’) is a single proper name or a set of proper names that identify a person. The history of geographical research is summarized according to the works of I.P. Magidovich, V.I. Magidovich, S.E. Mostakhov, D.S. Shirina and others. The study of anthroponyms is disclosed according to the toponymic studies of V.K. Zhuchkevich, S.V. Popova, Pospelova E.M.
The purpose of the study: to systematize the anthroponyms of the northeastern waters of the Russian island Arctic. The study of anthroponyms is based on the methods of historical and geographical analysis, the generalization and selection of physical and geographical names of objects is based on the cartographic method.
As a result, a brief systematization of anthroponyms was carried out according to the main geographical objects of the northeastern territories of the Russian Arctic in the waters of the Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi Seas, which do not claim to be completeness of the presented anthroponyms.
