For the construction of our object, we studied laws and provincial, state and municipal decrees; annual messages of governors; articles of the following newspapers O Povo, A Rep?blica, Di?rio do Natal, O Seridoense, A Not?cia and Jornal das Mo?as; the local cartography and historiography that talk about the study of names. The use of these resources, allied to the empiric method, was driven by a theoretic methodological contribution based on the history of the political imaginary, as discussed by Cornelius Castoriadis, Ren? R?mond, Michel de Certeau and Maria Dick. For the understanding of the imaginaries that (de)limited the spaces of Rio Grande do Norte concerning its names during the First Republic, we bring moment back to the two last imperial decades moment of cleavage between Empire and Republic essential for the fomentation of the imaginary that embodied the organization of our study. From this period, we observe, through the names of some cities, how the northern space would be aligned to the imaginary dynamic of the new political system of the nation, and it had followed to a redirection process of the giving names action, according to the interests of the family organization Albuquerque Maranh?o, revealed while determining the names of cities, towns, streets, schools, buildings, etc., in thankfulness to the memory of its members. In the sequence we verified how a new dynamic of giving names helped to understand the process of political transition from the Coast to the Sert?o, and at the same time affirmed the power of the political and economical seridoense elite towards the government of the state in the two last decades of the First Republic / Esse trabalho tem como tem?tica imagin?rios topon?micos, a partir da qual objetivamos analisar os imagin?rios e interesses investidos que caracterizaram a implanta??o e a legitima??o da Primeira Rep?blica (1889-1930) no Rio Grande do Norte, historicizando o processo de toponimiza??o de tal espa?o. Para a constru??o de nosso objeto perscrutamos leis e decretos provinciais, estaduais, e municipais; mensagens anuais de governadores; artigos dos jornais O Povo, A Rep?blica, Di?rio do Natal, O Serid?ense, A Not?cia, e Jornal das Mo?as; a cartografia, e a historiografia local que trata da topon?mia. A utiliza??o dessas fontes aliadas a empiria foram conduzidas por um aporte te?rico-metodol?gico baseado na hist?ria do imagin?rio pol?tico atrav?s de Cornelius Castoriadis, Ren? R?mond, Michel de Certeau e Maria Dick. Para a compreens?o dos imagin?rios que (de)marcaram toponimicamente os espa?os do Rio Grande do Norte durante a Primeira Rep?blica inicialmente retornaremos ?s duas ?ltimas d?cadas imperiais, enquanto momento de clivagem entre Imp?rio e Rep?blica, fundamental para a fomenta??o dos imagin?rios que corporificaram a organiza??o de nossa problem?tica. Este primeiro olhar trata de observar atrav?s dos nomes de algumas cidades como o espa?o norte-rio-grandense deveria est? alinhado com a din?mica imagin?ria do novo regime pol?tico da na??o, seguindo para um processo de redirecionamento das pr?ticas nomeativas em conformidade com a organiza??o familiar Albuquerque Maranh?o ao enunciar nos nomes de cidades, vilas, ruas, escolas, edif?cios, etc o reconhecimento ? mem?ria de seus membros, para na sequ?ncia verificar como uma nova din?mica nomeativa ajudou a entender o processo de transi??o pol?tica do Litoral para o Sert?o, e ao mesmo tempo afirmando o poder da elite pol?tica e econ?mica seridoense ? frente do governo do estado nas duas ?ltimas d?cadas da Primeira Rep?blica
