农村地区的原始地名是反映一个地区历史地貌与文化的重要载体.潮汕地区的许多地名都与海岸地貌有关，但系统地通过地名来解译地貌的研究还非常罕见.农村地区原始地名保留较好，而作为保存中国传统文化非常突出的潮汕地区，其地名有着丰富的内涵.本文应用遥感影像、实地考察，并通过地貌分析，印证“陇”地名来源沙丘、“塭”地名来源于咸田、“埭”地名来源于拦潮土坝、“澳”地名来源于曲折的基岩海岸.

The original village names in rural areas reflect the historical landform and culture of a region. Although many village names in Chaoshan area are related to coastal landforms,systematical studies on landform changes recorded by geographic names are still rare. The degree of urbanization in rural areas in Chaoshan area is still low, and the original names are well preserved. As Chaoshan area preserves best the Chinese traditional cultures, the local village names have rich connotations in landform changes. In this paper, remote sensing images, field investigations, and geomorphological analysis are used to confirm that the place name‘Long（陇）'originated fromsand dunes, the place name‘Wen（塭）'originated fromsaltyfields, the place name‘Dai（埭）'originated from tidal earth dams, and the place name‘Ao（澳）'originated from the tortuous bedrock coast.
