Etymology
The name is supposedly Turkic (Kazakh op - “ditch”, Kyrgyz op - “pit”, “ditch”). From the point of view of semantics, a very acceptable version is that in the Russian North numerous names of rivers and streams Rov were recorded. [2]
History
In 1735, at the confluence of Ori into the Urals , the Orsk fortress was laid with the village of Orenburg, which was later moved downstream of the Urals (modern Orenburg is the administrative center of the Orenburg region ), and only the Orsk fortress (now the city of Orsk ) remained in its former place. Thus, Or gave the name to the two existing cities.
