Toponymy

Local historians call Kaltan a “mystery toponym”, since there are many theories according to which the city acquired this name. According to V.I. Dahl’s dictionary, “kaltan” means “young Siberian summer sable.” There is a version that the name goes back to the local Shor dialects – “black stone” (apparently speaking about coal), “unreasonable, frosty winter wind”, which is also not too surprising, given the Siberian climate.
