The article looks at the geographical distribution of toponymic endings with the aim of discovering significant patterns. The corpus includes ca. 9,000 oikonyms, of which 24% are those that have the analysed endings. Endings are recognized if names have at least3 syllables or have 2 syllables and the Q3 degree of quantity; in thesecases the existence of a toponymic suffix is most likely. In the case of endings that have multiple origins there are seemingly no specific distribution patterns, with the exception of some borrowed endings (e.g.-na or -va). In the case of typical toponymic suffixes -la, -ste and -vereeach of these are often concentrated into certain areas based on whichthe whole are of Estonia might be divided into regions: -vere-region(northern Tartumaa and northern Viljandimaa), -ste-region (Võrumaa,southern Tartumaa, southern Viljandimaa and southern Pärnumaa),-la-region (Virumaa, Järvamaa, Harjumaa) and a mixed region(Läänemaa, northern Pärnumaa). The island of Saaremaa is dominated by -la-endings, Hiiumaa is either a mixed region or a -ste-region
