A lot of Russian borrowed words are used, the meaning of which is not always clear. Eric is one of those. This word came to us from what language? What can it mean? Let's try to figure it out.
Meaning of the word
Initially, the word came to us from the Turkic language and means "a crack, a crack in the ground." In fact, erik is a narrow, often deep water channel between two lakes or ilmens, branches of one river, bays, etc. Especially often this word is used in the region of the Kuban, Don, Dnieper and Volga rivers. In the mountains of the Caucasus, such channels are called ditches. Sounds good, doesn't it?
And in other areas the term is used. So, the well-known Fontanka in St. Petersburg at the very beginning was called Nameless Erik.
The second meaning of the word "erik" (used in the center and south of Russia) is a dry hollow in the floodplain of the river, which is flooded during the flood. The water in it can remain in the form of puddles and holes for a long time.
Where can you find the word
Most commonly used in various topographical names:
- Settlements. Erik is villages and farms in the Belgorod and Volgograd regions, settlements inKrasnodar Territory and Samara Region.
- River and channel. Erik is the name of rivers in Bashkortostan, Belgorod and Rostov regions of Russia and in Lugansk region (Ukraine).
- A small farm in the Krasnodar Territory near Slavyansk is called Black Erik. According to one version, it is about him that the famous Cossack song "Oh, it's nice, brothers, it's nice …" is sung about him. But later, due to frequent wars with the Caucasian tribes, it was changed to Black Terek (the name of one of the rivers of the Caucasus).
- Artificially dug canals in the Krasnodar Territory - Cossack Erik, Kulik, Angelinsky and many others. These channels were dug by hand to provide water to the villages and villages where the Cossacks lived, to irrigate the fields.
Other values
From the point of view of geography, we figured out what erik is. But this word has other, less well-known, but therefore not lost their importance meanings. And above all, this is a male name among the Kazakh peoples. Suffice it to recall the politician and plenipotentiary ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg, and then to Poland, Erik Utembaev. By the way, the name means “free, free.”
Now little is used, but erik is a special sign that was placed in the Church Slavonic language above the line instead of "ъ".
And one more meaning, the abbreviation of one of the cutest breeds of dogs Erik (Yorkshire Terrier).
Sometimes the Scandinavian name Eric is also written as Eric, without taking into account the peculiarities of its pronunciation.
