Etymology

The toponym Wensu (Script error: No such module "Lang".) had appeared in historical records of the Western Han Dynasty as one of the 36 states in the Western Regions.[7][8] The name 'Onsu' (Wensu) means "ten rivers" in Uyghur and other Turkic languages.[9] The name is similar to that of the nearby Zhetysu region which means "seven rivers"- both names consist of a number followed by 'su' (river; water).[10] The name Aksu is Turkic for 'white water'.[11]

In Uyghur, the county is called Aksu Konaxahar (Script error: No such module "Lang".) meaning 'the old city of Aksu'.[12]
