Sumario:This test is a staff analysis of toponyms deciphering its role in the process of meaning and perception of places. How individuals identify themselves and territorialized with the seats in the Amazon, results of the processes of reoccupation influenced by subject or "things", religious values (such as places with names derived from the Catholic faith and gospel with the representation of geographical features or biblical episodes) political (places with depicting the name of Portuguese cities) and toponyms stemming from natural and cultural aspects. for Magalhães "each name is a description of the object it represents, because each syllable says one idea" (1940 apud MELLO, 1967, p. 162). Therefore, the toponyms Amazon have a number related to individual values.
