Name Origin

Once the Civil River flowed near the Shorshel, but gradually, wriggling, went to the villages of Yerdovo and Atlashevo and then returned. A lake with swampy shores formed on the old riverbed of Civil. Hunters and fishermen called this place Shorshu (“Shor” - swamp, “Shu” - water). Most likely this should mean salt water shur su. When several families, led by Baybakh, settled on a hill near the lake, the settlement was also named Shorshu. Gradually, the settlement turned into the village of Baibakhtino (Baibakh Yale), but the name “Shorshu” did not disappear. It was at the beginning of the 16th century. People living in the Shorshu village were called "Shorshuls." Over time, the name of the villagers turned into the name of the village itself - Shorshula, which in the Chuvash way sounded like "Shorshăl", and literary - "Shurshăl". Shorshuls became Shorshels in the 30s of the XX century.

For about two centuries, the village existed under the double name of Baibakhtino and Shorshula.

Various interpretations of the translation “Clean Keys”, “Bright Keys” appeared with the light hand of a local teacher, Danilova E. D., who was instructed to meet a huge flow of tourists in the first days after the first space flight of A. G. Nikolaev. Everyone was interested in the question of what the word Shorshely means. Efrosinia Danilovna did not have time to go into details and gave a beautiful translation. One-day translation took deep roots, turning into the names of establishments and products .

Symbols

The coat of arms and flag were approved in 2007 by the state heraldmeister G.V. Vilinbakhov . [one]

Emblem Description

“In the azure field, a lowered thin wavy golden belt threaded into the ear of a silver figure formed of two keys with a single eye, the keys diverging from the common eye upward obliquely, and accompanied by a silver falcon at the top, holding a golden straight equilateral carving cross in its paws.”

Currently, the presence of keys on the emblem and flag is considered by many to be illogical and erroneous. Even if we accept the incorrect but familiar explanation that the name of the village came from the phrase “Shură çăl”, which means “White Key”, in the sense of a clean or bright key, then the key means the source of water, but not the key to the lock - the word, being a simple homonym.
