The aim of this study has been to investigate what function various applications of namegeography have for geography as a subject in school. Namegeography has for a very long time been debated in the discourse of the school. We have collected material for our study from different databases such as Eric Proquest, Eric EBSCO and Swepub. Our conclusion shows results that indicate that namegeographys affiliation to geography as a subject in school is significant and it is important how teachers present namegeography in their teaching, for an example to repeat, put words in a context, the use of digital tools and to include the pupils perspective.
