This bachelor thesis deals with the system of distribution of prepositions na, v and do in toponyms, which is an issue that has not been systematically described in any scientific work yet. At the beginning of the work hypotheses, which I have determined on the basis of literature, are stated; then a description of a fieldwork, by which I was trying to verify those hypotheses, follows. A result of the work then consists in a comparison of the obtained data with hypotheses and in a description of the determined system of distribution of investigated prepositions in toponyms.
