Section 2. The origin of this name?

Sterlitamak what area

As for the name of the city, it turns out, was not coincidental as it might seem at first glance, but after the merger of two words: the name of the local river Erased, which flows through the Central part of the city, and the words "TAMAK" which in the Bashkir language means “mouth of the water source”, or ‘the throat’.

Thus, it is easy to guess that if we start to translate into Russian language of all the word, it appears that the name of Sterlitamak sounds like “mouth of the river Erased”. Quite sweet and a very logical name.
