I don’t know Yuksa’s exact origin but I assume that it is not Greek, because it doesn’t look Greek at all. It looks Slovak or Czech.
thank you
thank you.
For me as a russian, the word "Yuksa" (Юкса) sounds 100% Finnish.
Bolshaya Yuksa is a river in Russia, the left tributary of the Chulym (Ob basin), flows in the Tomsk region. The length of the river is 177 km, the catchment area is 2670 km² [2].
The name comes from the Turkic words yuk - "close" and sa (from su) - "river" [3].
