placename

noun

/ˈpleɪsneɪm/

Etymology From place + name.

1

The name of a place; a word or phrase which indicates a particular location or region.

  • With a complex site, different site elements may not be terminologically distinguished, or else a generic term may be optionally added to the placename to distinguish a site element, such as a hill, well, or claypan at the location.2012, Nick Thieberger, The Oxford Handbook of Linguistic Fieldwork, page 401:
