Etymology
The name 'Otofu' came from the Kamikio-Monic word ottaoffu (wet), which the wetlands in which it is located in. The original name of the area when it was discovered by the Kamikians was Otoihofa (lit. group of waters); Otofu was the capital of the then-territory. It was in the early 11th century when the inhabitants began to use the term for the whole region.
History
16th Century
Before 1515, Öto Upu (what it was called then) was one of the northernmost towns in the Yaharan Empire, in the Duchy of Ësnvøërvërg. When the Empire broke up, Öto Upu and its surrounding towns of Repöča (Repoşota), Sämežxemí (Samejkhemy), Ítona (Ytona) and Vommä (Voma) declared their independence as the Duchy of Ësnvøërvërg, eventually followed by other towns in the Toşe region. Eventually Ësnvøërvërg was renamed to the Duchy of Otofu. It became the capital of Otofu until the nation united with the neighboring Duchy of Peccy (Pekha), wherein the capital was moved to Ony. On 1565, by order of Duke Otohua Samejkhemy, Oto Upu (renamed to Otofu) became the capital of the United Duchies of Peccy-Otofu. WIP
