Summary/Abstract: Compound oeconyms (names of farmsteads) are not particularly frequent in Lithuania. They constitu- te some 5% of all Lithuanian oeconyms. They are made up of two components, the second of which is usually a geographical or botanical term, less frequently a toponym. The first component may be a common or proper name, an adjective or (rarely) a numeral. There may be a linking vowel between the two, or it may be lacking. The majority of such compounds are attested in Western Lithuania.
