Dendronyms, understood as names of trees and woody plants, represent a significant lexical domain where human perception of nature, cultural symbolism, and linguistic categorization intersect. The study examines how universal principles such as perceptual salience, functional relevance, and metaphorical mapping interact with national and ethnocultural factors, including mythological beliefs, religious symbolism, and traditional ecological knowledge.
