Aware of the existence of at least six versions of the origin of the word "Gomel". According to the most common of them, the name of the city was due to the Coolant which flows into the Creek, Gameuk. Here, at the base of the hill when it was founded the first settlement of the ancient people, the descendants of whom are the modern Belarusians. The interest of tourists to the area spurred by the fact that the modern city of Gomel (the amusement Park and the Palace and Park area in particular) are also on the river Sozh. The validity of this version is confirmed by numerous family names of Belarusian cities: Minsk name of the city on the Menka, Polotsk stood on T, and Vitsebsk on the Vitba.

Individual members of the academic world tend to believe that the city name originated from the old Slavic word "God" (“hill, hill, hill”).

The people's explanation as follows. The river Iput, pouring in the Coolant, breaks through rocky shallow water. The hum produced by the flow of river water, piercing stones, and can be heard to this day.
