Summary
Toponymy on Wrangel Island serves as a rich historical archive, revealing key periods of development—particularly the 1920s–1950s—through names derived from anthroponyms. The study analyzed specialized toponymic references, cartographic materials, and oral testimonies to demonstrate how geographical names reflect cultural and historical shifts over time. Findings highlight toponymy's dual role as both an illustrative tool and a direct source of localized historical data, offering precise insights into the island's evolution.
