Etymology
The name consists of the Erzyan word kudo - “house”, “dwelling” and the Finno-Ugric topoformant “-ma” - “land”, “territory”, “krai”, which is widespread in the Volga region and Nizhny Novgorod region in particular. A river with the same name also flows through the territory of the Bogorodsky district of the Nizhny Novgorod region. Thus, the name Kudma indicates that the territory along the banks of the river and in the nearest lands was significantly inhabited by Erzyans and other Finno-Ugric peoples even before the development of these lands by the Russian population [4] . The Finno-Ugric theory of the origin of the name is also supported by the fact that the word similar in sound and meaning is in the Veps language - kodima . In Petrozavodsk of the Republic of Karelia, the Kodima newspaper is published in Veps language. In addition, Kudma - a river in the north of the Arkhangelsk region of Russia - the place of historical residence of the Finno-Ugric peoples.
