'That word' (below-hyperlinked to a list of cities on the Russian leg of the Solitaire 2020 world-tour) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Verkhoyansk” literally means "a Town on the Upper #Yana River."
The name "Yana" is the Bulgarian-, Russian- & Ukrainian form of the name #Jana, which is the feminine form of the name #Jan, which is a form (in various languages) of the name #Johannes, which is the Latin form of a Greek name whose English form is John.
