Name Origin
The name Besed, according to one version, has a Finno-Ugric origin. [one]
According to another version, the name comes from Iranian languages . The hydronym Besed is considered in the same row with the hydronyms Bestan, Bestwest, Obest, Obista, Obst, Bastov, Bastovka, Bostya, etc. The first part of these names ( Ob- , Obe , etc.) is comparable with the Iranian geographic term ob - water "," river ". The second part ( -st , -stan ) goes back to the Iranian word in the meanings of "parking", "camp", "place", which corresponds, for example, to the modern Ossetian root basis -ston in complex words in the meaning of "wide area". [2]
According to V.N. Toporov and O.N. Trubachev, the name of the Besed River is of Baltic origin. The hydronym corresponds with such correspondences as lit. Bestinis, Best-upis , lts. Beste [3] , which is associated with lit. besti "dig; stick in ” [4] .
