Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to examine the nomination of urban gastronomic establishments that use nature in its creations, a broadly understood nature that is an inseparable part of urban space. In creating the names of studied service objects, elements of the natural world were used, coming from very different areas (including fauna, flora, geology, geography, meteorology, astronomy, hydrology, etc.). These names evoke different associations, contain usually a certain persuasion acting on the emotions and will of the recipient, thus obtaining marketing value. Material from two geographically and economically diverse regions of Poland (Silesia and the south-eastern borderland) was analyzed. It has few features that refer to the region.
