Abstract: This article deals with some place-names in the form of pluralia tantum, mentioned in the Old Russian chronicles of the middle and late periods of Russian language history (the 14-17th centuries), provides their etymological, nominational, word-formative and stratigraphic analysis. These toponyms are derived mostly from geographical terms, or, less often, from hydronyms and names of man-made objects. Such naming tendency had been persistently growing from the 14th till the 16th centuries, but reduced in the 17th century. The main area where plural oikonyms are found is the land of Novgorod and Pskov
