Demographic processes taking place in the region of Plovdiv (and nationwide) affect the number of toponyms used by locals. Local names on the territory of the town of Saedinenie are a collection of many diverse onyms which reflect local characteristics, values and traditions in naming. By way of analyzing mikrotoponyms the settlement can trace its significance to the cultural and historical memory of our land.

Key words: Saedinenie, demography, toponyms, field study
