An oeconym, also econym,[1] or oikonym (from Greek: οἶκος, oîkos, 'house, dwelling' and ὄνυμα, ónuma, 'name') is a specific type of toponym that designates a proper name of a house or any other residential building, and in the broader sense, the term also refers to the proper name of any inhabited settlement, like village, town or city.[2][3][4] Within the toponomastic classification, main types of oeconyms (econyms, oikonyms) are: astionyms (proper names of towns or cities, from Ancient Greek: ἄστῠ, hastŭ),[5][6] and comonyms (proper names of villages, from Ancient Greek: κώμη, kōmē).[7][6]
