Abstract: Place-name is a complex research object because it contain the cultural, historical, linguistic and
natural conditions of the land. Therefore, when approaching a thousands of place-names in a
region, it is very difficult for researchers to classify and decode the origin of the place-names. The
history of studying Vietnamese place-names show that, so far, the decryption of place-names by
decoding each individual place-name, researchers have not paid attention to the relationship of
place-names in a region. Thus, the study of place-names is quite sporadic, the study of place-names
is not focusable and does not have a scientific basis to decode a series of place-names. By studying
place-names of the Southwestern region, we have discovered method of determining elements of
culture and method of mirroring in statistics and decode effectively place-names. As a result, we
have classified and decoded the place-names systematically and scientifically, contributing to
solving some practical and theoretical problems in researching place-names.
