Etymology edit

Kyzyl-Suu is named for the "Kyzyl-Suu" river that runs through it. Kyzyl-Suu literally translates to "red water", in reference to the red clay which stains the water during periods of heavy rain. The name is similar to that of the Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, China.
