Surname
Before the construction of two jetties that protect the harbor in the Kamyschowaja Bay, the area was called Troinaja buchta (translated three times bay ). Since then, the water of Kamyshovaya Bay has played almost no role in the current in the bay, because the exchange of water is almost exclusively determined by the Kazachya and Soljonaya Bay. In English , “Triple-Double Bay” was a term that prevents all possible misunderstandings.
The three bays, which are considered to be the former three ports of the ancient city of Chersonese , were first mentioned by the Greek historian and geographer Strabo (Strabo VII 308). Much later, in connection with the excavations on the Herakleotian peninsula, these natural moorings were also referred to as “Bay of Fanary” or “Fanari” in another spelling. For example in a treatise by the historian Karl Neumann from the year 1855. Here you can read “ … the Heraclus [chose] the westernmost bay for their first settlement, the bay of Fanary, which because it branches into three parts inside , which Muravyov-Apostol appropriately called the triple bay ”. This name corresponds to a transcription from the Greek. The word Φανάρι , pronunciation : [ faˈnari ], stands for the terms lantern, traffic light, but also lighthouse or beacon.
Today this name seems to have been forgotten and is perhaps more appropriately used under the Russian name " Бухта Фанари " (translated Fanari Bay ) for a small indentation, which directly adjoins Cape Chersonese , the westernmost point of Sevastopol, with its lighthouse .
