Sarapul (Udmurt and ) is a city and a river port in the Udmurt Republic, Russia, located on the right bank of the Kama River, southeast of Izhevsk, the capital of the republic. Population:
==History== Sarapul is one of the oldest cities of the Kama region. It was first mentioned in a 1596 population audit book as the village () of '''''' (, 'Ascension' [of Christ]), later known as Sarapul: "in Kazansky Uyezd in the upper Kama River ... in Sarapul and Siva people fish". Apparently, here Sarapul is the name of a section of the river, as well as the entire area along its shores. It is believed that the name of this area comes from the word () which in Chuvash means 'yellow fish', or sturgeon, which was in abundance here. Later, however, other versions of the origin of the name were considered. In particular, one of them says that the word formed by the merger of two words: , which in one of the Siberian dialects means 'money', and , a small copper coin, thus meaning 'place of money'.
