Etymology
Abashiri Prefecture was named after the subprefectural office in Abashiri. However, the area was more commonly referred to as the Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., as it faces the Sea of Okhotsk, and the name Abashiri was changed to the more commonly used Okhotsk during the administrative redivision of Hokkaido's 14 subprefectures to 9 subprefectural bureaus in April, 2010. The sea is named for the port of Okhotsk, itself named for the Okhota,[1] whose name is derived from the Even word окат (okat) meaning "river".[2]
