Oikonym (name origin)

The existing name, as you can assume, is associated with the name of the area where the village is located, over which a mountain range (rampart) of the Volga Upland hangs from the north ^[1] .

The word "basement" is also used in marine terminology and in geography to denote a part of alluvial deposits in the river rolling area. The basement is the most difficult place when escorting ships through a roll. On the fairway , (navigable), after passing the basement, a zone of calm flow appears. ^[2] From the Podvalya to the “Russian Bektyazhka” in the middle of the Volga was an island with flood meadows and hayfields. The end of the island and a significant expansion of the Volga channel just opposite the village could be a “basement” in marine terminology ^[3] . Also possible is the formation of a common noun basement that existed in Russian dialects in the meanings of “ravine with crumbling edges” and “steep slope, cliff of an underwater sand ridge” ^[4] .
