"Qazan" is originally a name for a special cooking pan, a variant of a wok, but more solid and heavier. It was believed that the city of Kazan is named after this object because of its geographical similarity with a "qazan"-pan; namely the city is situated in a U-shaped lowland.

It was very hard for Suyumbike to leave Kazan and become the Russia tsarina (Queen). She went to the top of the tower, looked around for the last time and threw herself down on the sharp stones…
