The name comes from "seven rivers" in [[Kazakh language|Kazakh]] but meant "abounding in water", in contrast to the dry steppes of the eastern Balkhash area. It owes its name to the rivers that flow from the southeast into [[Lake Balkhash]]. Jetisu primarily falls into today's [[Jetisu Region]] and [[Almaty Region]] and other South-Eastern parts of Kazakhstan and some parts of Northern Kyrgyzstan.
