Meaning and background
The story behind Kura
Kura has a documented river association. Merriam-Webster locates its source in northeastern Turkey and describes its course through Georgia and Azerbaijan into the Caspian Sea. A dog named Kura may commemorate a place, journey or family connection along that landscape. The source does not establish the meaning of every personal name or word spelled Kura in other languages, so those possible routes remain separate.
- Association
- Geographic association with the river flowing from Turkey through Georgia and Azerbaijan into the Caspian Sea. Source
