Etymology

Pliny the Elder associated the name with Durius (the ancient name of Upper Váh), Ptolemy with the Celtic Taurisci tribe. The name is probably derived from the Indo-European appellative tur- (Slovak: tur, English: bull).[2] The root is used also in a broad sense - "rich" or "strong". The Hungarian name Turóc comes from the ancient Slavic form Turъcь (1113 Turc).[3]

Fauna

There were recorded 18 species of molluscs in Turiec river. That includes 8 species of freshwater gastropods and 10 species of freshwater bivalves.[4]
