Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of the linguistic and cultural content of toponyms with the semantics of space. The source of the material was a handwritten geographical map of the Hungarian scientist A. Reguli, compiled in the period from 1845 to 1847. Maps are rightfully considered important sources of toponymic information. Their special value lies in the fact that they reliably preserve geographical names and, accordingly, all the information contained in them. Toponyms mapped by A. The regulations are a repository of information about the languages and culture of the indigenous ethnic groups of the North of Western Siberia, still insufficiently studied, their interaction with the languages and culture of other ethnic groups. The relevance of the research is due to the inexhaustible interest of modern linguistics in the problems of the relationship between language and culture. The aim of the work is to identify information about the culture of the indigenous population of Western Siberia in the middle of the XIX century, fixed in geographical names. The object of the study was the toponyms of the Konda River basin, expressing the semantics of space. The scientific novelty is seen in the fact that the toponymy applied on the handwritten geographical maps of the outstanding Hungarian scientist A. Reguli has not been used for linvocultural research until now. The material was collected by the continuous sampling method. The main methods of analysis were structural-word-formation, etymological, historical, comparative and comparative methods of cultural studies. The article examines the semantics and etymology of locative toponyms and their motivating foundations. The analyzed oikonyms and hydronyms are of Mansi origin, are derived from the names of adjacent water sources — rivers and lakes. Conclusions are drawn about the reflection of the worldview of indigenous ethnic groups in the principles of the nomination of geographical objects, in the word-formation structure of onyms. The comparison of historical toponymy and modern toponymic data allows the authors to talk about the transformation of the toponymic system towards its Russification, which led to changes in the ethnic culture of the indigenous peoples of the North of Western Siberia.
