Spanish Toponym Sources?
Hi, I’m looking for any good sources of Spanish Toponym lists/charts. Websites, diagrams, charts, books, etc. I’m trying to expand my list of toponymic suffixes and prefixes. Preferably not sources focusing on The west coast of the USA, as saints and Christianity in general take up such a large percentage of Spanish names in those areas. Thank you so much!

One thing you could do is google each element you find individually, then you might come across literature even just on that one element. Here's a reference to one suffix found (rarely) in Spain:
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufijo_-acum_(toponimia)
(the part under 'España')
i found this too: https://www.persee.fr/doc/onoma_0755-7752_2011_num_53_1_1725
for suffixes used in Aragon;
or a much more general wikipedia page outlining the basics (but with linked articles of course):
