Baikal

English

Etymology

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Russian Байка́л (Bajkál, “Baikal”), from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Buryat Байгал нуур (Bajgal nuur, “Lake Baikal”), perhaps ultimately from the (deprecated template usage) [etyl]  *bāj (“rich”), and *köl, *(k)ȫl (“lake”), with reference to the abundance of high-quality salmon in the lake. The Turkic origin is rejected by Vasmer. Native (deprecated template usage) [etyl]  origins have also been proposed.
