There are many versions of the origin of the name of the city, but all of them do not have enough solid and tangible evidence. "And slept on Cheboksary, and went from Cheboksary day all night but all that passed, and priidosha near Kazan in the early dawn, APRIL 21, in the 50th week" - from the records of governors of Ivan the Terrible, who was walking to Kazan from 19 to 20 May 1469. Scholars dispute. 1. Map of the 15th century Italian cartographer Fra Mauro city designated as "Veda Soir." Many modern historians are focused precisely on that name, believing that it is translated as "New Suvar" (with the old Chuvash), and the city founded by refugees from the city Suvar. 2. Great confusion makes the modern name of the city "Shupashkar." The fact that it comes from the original "Cheboksary" and not vice versa, as many historians, in their opinion, the word translated as "City." 3. According to another version, the city is called "Shupashkar" from the first settlers named Shubash and Kar, or from a single settler named Shebashkar. Most likely, the origin of the word Shupashkar later, and maybe it means "ghetto", which was evicted after 1555 unbaptized Chuvash. 4. Someone said that the name comes from the personal name of the Finno-Ugric dace or Chebaksa with the prefix "al", which means "river", and collectively "River dace." 5. According to another hypothesis, the name sounds like soups-sara (with Chuvash - "The place is rich in fish." From the Tartar city name translates as "The Golden Hat" (Chebok-sara). Perhaps "Sari" is derived from the Arabic "barn", which means Palace. And then Cheboksary means fortress Cheboka. Maybe it was the name of the local or the Bulgarian ruler, which grew around the residence city. Information taken from an old newspaper. The modern coat of arms of the city of Cheboksary is a silver crossed board the French form, divided into chapters and base. In azure field base - natural shapes "Five silver ducks" flying envelope. In the field and in the scarlet head, separated from the base of a zigzag line (in the Chuvash ornamentation - the image of the river - in this case, the Volga) three silver stylized ornament Chuvash - silhouettes of oaks.
