• "il", meaning "homeland";
• "areme" - is translated as "a place overgrown with small bushes by the river."
And they also tell a sad legend about the missing beauty. It says that for a long time, a grieving father unsuccessfully called his disappeared daughter Aramil, but she never returned. The girl, according to the legend, could drown, was kidnapped or lost in the thicket of the forest. And the place of searches was named after her.

In official circles, also tend to male interpretation of the name.
