Baltym - lake of Russia (Sverdlovsk region)

There are many opinions about the origin of the name of the lake. Some believe that its hydronome is a native of Turkic language "bol" - be it "tym" - quietly, which means "be quiet". However, scientists consider this view erroneous. If you pay attention to the correctness of writing in a given language, then only the root base participates in this hypothesis. And the verb "to be" in the Tatar language sounds like a bull, and in Bashkir it sounds like a bully.

There is one more variant of the origin of the name "Baltym". It already has Russian roots. This statement says that the Slavic people, in order to simplify the discordant forms, improved the pronunciation of "Baltsky" or "Baltysky" more consonant: "Baltysky."
