Etymology

[edit]

Čedasai is a hydronymic toponym derived from the name of Lake Čedasas, which is located nearby. In turn, the name of the lake is of Selonian origin (*Ked-asas) and is associated with the words kedenti ('to scatter, to scatter') and kėdarotis ('to branch out untidily').[2] In other languages the town's name is translated as: Polish: Czadosy.
