Abstract: This work aims to study the Surnames granted to municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul. Starting from the study of Toponymy, a multidisciplinary science that investigates place names, we intend to reflect on the concept of Place and its relationship with the granting of National Capital titles to municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul, through a survey conducted on authors within Critical, Humanistic, and Cultural Geography. The present study proved to be effective regarding the motivation behind municipal Surnames, as well as a means of identifying local culture in relation to others, which also contributes to the resurgence and/or affirmation of local/regional culture. Finally, we emphasize the designation of the city as a reflection of competition among places in the era of Globalization, always seeking some financial return to the Place.
