Abstract:
This article is devoted to English place names, their classification, periods of development, as well as the main methods of translating English geographic names into Russian. Place names are linguistic signs of a particular language that form a toponymic system or toponymy. The ethnotonyms of the British toponymic system are the county of Essex-territory of the East Saxons, Sussex-South Saxons, Wessex-West Saxons, Middlesex-Middle Saxons. The ways of translating toponyms are practical transcription, transliteration and descriptive.
