Etymology

The name Jalsatyń comes from the Qazan words Jala, meaning "safe" and Satyń, meaning "city". The nickname Jasa is a shortened form of "Jalsatyń" used in slang, and Qaafma is the old name for Jalsatyń. The name Qaafma is a combination of two Qazan words - Qaaz - the old demonym for Qazan and hafma - a loanword from Classical Letsatian meaning "place". The oldest name for Jalsatyń was Kadvača, formed using kadva which was derived from kad(v), a loan from Old South Bavkiri kad(y) meaning to bless and the suffix -ča/če meaning place.

History

Formation

Jalsatyń was formed in 482 AD under the name Kadvača (from Kadva meaning blessing and ča meaning place). Kadvača was known for farming and baking. In 742 AD a trade route from Kadvača to Jigek along with trade routes to Central and West Khaazland were established, and Kadvača became a trade centre and flourished. It was also at this time that Kaazist and Devotionist temples and monasteries were beginning to appear in the city.
