Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to reconstruct the linguo-cultural view of the Świętokrzyskie village contained in the microtoponymy of the Kazimierski district. The ways of perception and interpreting the surrounding reality by the local rural community are presented. The onymic material contains over 500 microtoponyms, i.e. names of local uninhabited places and objects, land objects (e.g. fields, meadows, forests, mountains, pastures, hills) and water objects (e.g. swamps, ponds, streams, rivers). Among all the collected field names, the author distinguished the names whose source of motivation are the objective properties of the referent: location, size, shape, etc. (topographic-locating and topographic-characterizing names), and the names that show the relationship between an object and a person (possessive, business and occasional/memorial names).
