A toponym transcends mere nomenclature for a location; it serves as a portal to the essence and attributes of that place. Within the framework of this investigation, toponyms within the western Lembang geological landscape do more than just label; they encapsulate and articulate the seismic history of the area in all its intricate facets. To conduct this study, a theoretical lens grounded in linguistic anthropology was employed, alongside an ethnographic qualitative methodology. Based on the interview, observation and document analyses, the findings of this study unveil the structural diversity of place names in the western Lembang geological landscape, manifesting as merging patterns and linear patterns. The name-forming lexicon within the merged pattern encompasses nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Furthermore, the form and meaning of these lexicons that constitute place names, steeped in local wisdom within the western Lembang geological landscape, eloquently echo the Sundanese people's profound connection with the natural world, the surrounding flora, and fauna. This research illuminates the intricate interplay between language, culture, and the geological heritage of the region, shedding light on the intimate relationship between the Sundanese community and the environment they inhabit.

“…Local knowledge should be used to determine the names of existing cultures as a form of cultural preservation and respect (Braden, 2020;Herman, 1999). In addition, place names based on local knowledge can serve as a historical marker of a place's disaster and as a warning to make people aware of the danger of the place (Yotsumoto, 2020).…”

Many facts show that toponyms can portray the closeness of humans to the surrounding nature. In this context, the relationship between humans and the surrounding nature can also form local knowledge. This research aims to reveal the classification and function of the lexicon in local knowledge-based toponyms in the western Lembang Fault area. This research used the theoretical approach of anthropological linguistics. In addition, this study also used three data collection methods, including participant observation method, interview method, and documentation method. The results of this study show that five toponyms are included in the physical aspect, which combines hydrological and biological characteristics. In addition, there are five toponyms included in the physical aspects that have a combination of geomorphological characteristics and biological characteristics. Furthermore, three toponyms are included in the social aspect, characterized by circumstances. Finally, two toponyms, which have religious or mythological characteristics, are included in the cultural aspect. In addition, the results of this study also show the function of toponyms in the western Lembang Fault area. This function captures the local knowledge of Sundanese people about the existence of a vertical relationship dimension between humans and God and a horizontal relationship dimension between humans and nature.
