It costs you nothing, but a good deed is done :-)
The settlements that you meet on the road make you stop and think. Why did the locals call their place of residence that way? Basically, the answers lie on the surface. Geographical details, or natural features. Sometimes a story or an event. Sometimes you can guess why two neighboring villages near Izyum are called Bugaevka (Bugay - huge man) and Slabunovka (Slabun - Weakling). Apparently, the second often got it after the joint gatherings. But there are places and places where you imagine a meeting to choose a name something like this ...
1st: - I propose to name our village Andreevka in honor of Andrey Nikanoritch, he buys our beet.
2nd: - And my version: Zelenoyarsk - in honor of a beautiful green ravine (Zeleniy Yar - green ravine) in the lowlands by the river.
3rd: - You fools! I came up with the best name - Lobkova Balka!
1st and 2nd: Really, super, well done !!! Let's call our village - Lobkova Balka !!! Hooray!!!
And soon on all signs: LOBKOVA BALKA (Pubic beam) ...
