Etymology

edit

A less apt modification of 北霍魯遜北霍鲁逊 (Běihuòlǔxùn), from (běi), translating Mongolian ᠬᠣᠶᠢᠳᠤ (qoyidu, north), and a phonetic transcription of Mongolian ᠬᠤᠯᠤᠰᠤᠨ (qulusun, reed), from their former presence in the area. The modification is presumably under the influence of the larger nearby 達布遜达布逊 (Dábùxùn), whose name transcribed a separate Mongolian name.
