The history of the toponym is also quite interesting. Historians put forward two versions of its origin.
According to one, the settlement was named for the simple reason that there was an ancient Russian pit - a post station with an inn, stables, where a coachman named Gavrila kept speed horses. Hence the name "Gavrilov-Yam" appeared.
