Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the etymological analysis of the Bulgarian river name Velpitsa. In the author’s opinion, it comes from the hydronymic stem *vьl-p- < *vьl- (> *vъl-), cf. *vьlna ‘wave’, + the determinative -p-, known in Belarusian and Polish water names and having probable Baltic and Germanic parallels. The dialectical development of the type tĭlt > telt occurs in a number of Bulgarian place names and common words.
