Every element in the world around us has a ‘name’ to identify it. People use ‘names’as needed to refer to a person, object or element specifically. Onomastics is the special branch of linguistics that systematically studies these names. Accordingly, each object has an identifying name. A place, object or person cann’t have a name without any reason. There is a reason behind every name. Onomastics can study the heritage and socio-cultural background or factors that influenced the name. One of the categories of literature that enriches Assamese literature is the ‘Buranjis.’ The Buranjis are an unprecedented contribution of the Ahom kings to Assamese literature. The onomastics study of the place names in Buranji will reveal the historical, socio-cultural, linguistic-political aspects associated with the names and the importance of the nouns in the development of the Assamese language. This paper discusses the onomastics study of Buranji’s Place names.
