There are several options for the origin of the name of this river. A long time ago, in a village on the Bank of the unnamed stream there lived a guy Wet meadows and the girl who wanted to get married. However, the girl's father was against their marriage. Then the Vet was going to sail for the gold to prove – he is a eligible bachelor. During his absence the meadows came every day to the river and sat waiting for her lover. But one night there came a terrible storm in which the ship Veta tossed on the rocks, and the young man drowned. On hearing this, grief-stricken grasslands rushed into the stream and drowned because he could not live without his beloved. Since Vetluga-river, named in memory of the distant history about miserable feelings.
However, another version of why the pond is called so, not so romantic. The fact that the river was a dense willow thickets, and “willow” – a kind of tree data. Also takes place to be the translation of the word Vetluga with the ancient Mari: “Yuga” – river and the “veteli” – Chaika, or rather “River gulls”. Most likely, during the time of the Mari settlers above the water surface it was possible to observe countless gulls.
