Etymology
[edit]The name Dubas or Dūbas comes from the name of the nearby Dubas Lake. It is from a Lithuanian root dub- 'to sink, to sag' (as in words duobė 'a pit', duburys 'a waterhole'). The village is known as Polish: Wierchdubie-Morozik, Russian: Верхъ-Дубъ-Морозик in earlier sources. The part Wierchdubie means 'a place upon Dubas [lake]' and Morozik may be from a personal name of Slavic origin Lithuanian: Marõzas, Marõza, Belarusian: Mapoз, Маpoзаў, Маpoзька.[3]
