回答: 西伯利亚(Siberia) 是因锡伯(Siber)族人而得名？ 由 cornbug 于 2005-2-11, 11:12:14:
ZT:
Siberia: In Russian, Sibir, is so called from Sibir or Ssibir, a town on
the Irtish near Tobolsk, which no longer exists. Sibir was the capital of
a Tartar khanate of the same name, which was conquered in the Sixteenth Century
by Yermak, the Hetman of the Don Cossacks.
"Sibir" was a Tatar term， meaning "sleeping land."
================================
"俄国17世纪在西比利亚拓展之速多因土人无抵抗的能力，俄人用游击散队就足以征
服之。彼时西比利亚户口稀少，政治组织尚在部落时代。比较有抵抗能力的要算俄
比上流的古楚汗国（Kuchum Khanate）。这国就是蒙古大帝国的残余。雅尔马克
（Yermak）于1583年夺取了其京都西比尔（Sibir），西比利亚从此得名。"
