This often occurs when a name from one language is imported into another and a standard descriptor is added on from the second language.

The following is a list of place names often used tautologically, plus the languages from which the non-English name elements have come. Tautological place names are systematically generated in languages such as English and Russian, where the type of the feature is systematically added to a name regardless of whether it contains it already.

In English, it is usual to do the same for foreign names, even if they already describe the feature, for example ''Lake Kemijärvi'' (''Lake Kemi-lake'') ...
