Placenaming (toponymy) has not received much explicit attention from ecolinguists. An outline of ecolinguistics as relevant to toponymy is given. Using several exemplary toponyms in Norf'k, the language spoken on Norfolk Island, South Pacific, a definition of an ecologically embedded language is put forward.
