This dissertation studies the place names described in the sesmarias letters certificates in Sergipe Del Rey captaincy issued from 1594 to 1623. This nominata is analyzed out of Felisbelo Freire s paleographic transcription (1891), and compared with the manuscript documents, which cover the earliest period of the European territorial occupation in Sergipe. From this point, what can be seen is an active interaction between settlers and Indians, due to the large number of place names in native language. Therefore, the intentions of maintenance around toponymic native names can be pointed out, as well as the influence of the settlers in the appointment of local accidents, confirming the idea that the relationship between man and environment is present on the toponymic network. Thus, we consider these toponymic signs into an ethno linguistic perspective, both in its structural aspect spelling, form, origin as well as discursive semantic-history. Through toponimic records, eighty-one toponyms were collected, classified and interpreted - and out of those 73 toponyms were related to Sergipe, fifty-eight are of indigenous origin enabling us to find lexical reminiscent and linguistic phenomena, such as phonetics, spelling, morphology, semantics, exposed after this interethnic contact. As theoretical support, we make use of Onomastics, Historiography on colonial Sergipe, Linguistics, specifically native languages. In summary, as this document about Sergipe consists of one of the most reliable sources of information, we believe to have contributed to the preparation of a future toponymic glossary in Sergipe for the limited period.
