ORTHODOX TOPONYMY OF THE TVER PROVINCE

We have represented the district results for the most widespread orthodox oikonyms of Tverskaya province. In the Internet we have placed a database with the lists of pop- ulated places of Tverskaya and 12 more provinces of Russia in the XIX century. The selections formed for Tverskaya province are shown on the modern and archival maps. We have rated the number of oikonyms to the number of populated places in a district or a province. For the most widespread oikonyms, containing ?nikol?, ?spass?, ?pokrov?, ?troits? we have presented dia- grams and thematic maps. The method and the database that we have suggested can be used for researching the other groups of oikonyms, and also for localization of populated places
