==Etymology== The precise etymology of the town's name remains uncertain. It is hypothesised by some researchers that the area was once a lake known as Kamajys or a river called Kamaja (linguist Aleksandras Vanagas associated the town's name with the latter). However, there are no such bodies of water in the Kamajai area.
