History
Sarapul is one of the oldest cities of the Kama region. It was first mentioned in a 1596 population audit book as the village (Template:Lang) of Template:Lang (Template:Langx, 'Ascension' [of Christ]), later known as Sarapul:Template:Citation needed "in Kazansky Uyezd in the upper Kama River ... in Sarapul and Siva people fish". Apparently, here Sarapul is the name of a section of the river, as well as the entire area along its shores. It is believed that the name of this area comes from the word Template:Lang (Template:Lang) which in Chuvash means 'yellow fish', or sturgeon, which was in abundance here. Later, however, other versions of the origin of the name were considered. In particular, one of them says that the word Template:Lang formed by the merger of two words: Template:Lang, which in one of the Siberian dialects means 'money', and Template:Lang, a small copper coin, thus meaning 'place of money'.
