In this regard, it is vital to identify and record the land names in a region and to study from various points of view. Especially in the geographics such as the Balkans, the Caucasus and the Middle East, where the Turkish existence has continued since the past but the land names are also rapidly changed, this situation becomes even more important. For these purposes, the Yengice town connected to Tuzhurmatu in the north of Iraq has been chosen as the study area, and the land names collected from this town have been studied scientifically. In the entry section, the area of examination was given information about the location, history and geography of the town of Yengice; in the examination section, the names of the town of Yengice were classified according to the types and structures, the layers of these names and the elements that were effective in the designation. The review resulted in the findings that the land names of the Yengice town, a Turkmen settlement linked to Kerkük, are not different from the land names of any settlement in Anadolu in terms of their species, structures and elements that are influential in the designation, and that the Turkish designation culture is not out of it.
