This work, which focuses on the area of Study of Linguistic Processes, in the research line Study of Meaning Processes of the Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program in Linguistics at UNEMAT, seeks to understand how names of indigenous origin articulate and mean in formations names of cities/municipalities in Mato Grosso made official in the 20th century. For the development of this proposal, we join the theoretical and methodological approach developed by Dias (2016, 2018a, 2018b), in the semantics of enunciation. This theoretical orientation gives us the opportunity to approach the enunciative reasons of the articulations contracted by the nominal formations in the language events that create these names. The perspective of language event is linked to the theoretical contribution of Guimarães (2005a, 2018), in which we also associate to discuss the constitution of the space of enunciation in Brazil. For the analyses, 40 nominal formations were selected that articulate names of indigenous origin in their compositions, considering the different forms of formation: names with simple units, compound names and hybrid names and two nominal formations that appeared in the process of naming and renaming the municipality of São José do Xingu. We used as analytical material a set of excerpts from historiographical texts collected from printed and digital bibliography and excerpts from official texts included in diaries, letters and maps. As an analysis procedure, we mobilized the organization of statements organized in enunciative networks (DIAS, 2018a), taken as a network of meanings, which can demonstrate the heterogeneity of historical and social relations that affect enunciation. As a result, it is intended to demonstrate that the meaning of indigenous names in nominal formations is mobilized by perspectives of meanings that are dispersed between the domains of historical references and enunciative pertinence.
