Etymology

The exact origins of the name "Fyedor" is unknown, especially given its popularity as both male first names and town names in Seketan and Wilskland. The city was first documented under that name in a 1332 trade map, though other contemporary names included Þampa, Cálat, and Necipai. During the early days of trade map making, it was not uncommon to label trade ports with the name of a local customs or trade officer, and it is currently suspected that given the commoness of Fyedor as a Wilsk first name, it was just adopted as the name of the town after many customs officers named such.
