There is the legend of local Russians with relation to the origin of this word. “ One day a part of the Yermak Cossacks lost behind, went in circles and finally reached the shore of the Oka River. They were thin, shabby, hungry people. When they saw the river, they caught fish, cooked fish soup with salt and ate as much as one can hold. And then the Cossacks said “What a delicious meal (yada in Od Russian)”. That’s the origin of the word Yada”. But as you know this story is an entire fabrication.
