奥斯曼土耳其语
Balkana Lake was formerly known as "Balukhana" and "Balukana", which derived from Ottoman Turkish language "baluk" - meaning "fish", and "hana" - meaning "place of dwelling" (habitat). The name, over time, transformed into "Balkana", which sounds much like Balkan but etymologically, as said before, is in no connection to it.
