Origin of Termez
Borrowed from Russian Терме́з m (Terméz). * The modern name of the city came through the Sogdian Language Tarmiδ dating back to an ancient Iranian language tara-maiθa, which means "a place of transition" (tara-crossing, crossing; maiθa-place). In ancient times there was an important crossing on the Amu Darya river. * Some link the name of the city to Greek thermos "hot", tracing its name back to Alexander the Great. * Others suggest that it came from Sanskrit taramato, meaning "on the river bank"
