Bakhtiarovo (Chuvashia)

The word Bakhtiarovo arose from the word Vata (Uta), which is the name of the tributary of the Volga (in Chuvashia, Tatarstan). There are currently Chuvash villages. The word Utah is from the Turkic language. The word Vătayal consists of two parts: Văta - the name of the river, Yal - the village.

The founders of the village were Pakhter (Bakhtiar), Tilper and Krymkka, who went through the Volga to Sviyaga, and therefore to Kubnya (Ketne), further on the left side of the Uta river they founded the village, and others, going further, reached Vutabusi and founded this the village.
