Perespa

Perespa (Russian: Переспа) is a Russian toponym, most commonly referring to a rural locality. The name's origins are not definitively known but it is speculated to be derived from the verb "perespat’" (переспать), meaning "to sleep over" or "spend the night". This may indicate a historical use as a rest stop along a route.

Several places in Russia bear this name, including:

• Perespa, Kaluga Oblast: A village (село) in the Mosalsky District of Kaluga Oblast.
• Perespa, Smolensk Oblast: A village in the Yartsevsky District of Smolensk Oblast.
• Perespa (rural locality type unspecified), Tver Oblast: Several rural localities in Tver Oblast, including villages in the Torzhoksky and Ostashkovsky Districts. Specific information about each locality would require further clarification.
• Other minor settlements may also exist with this name, though documentation can be scarce.

The existence of multiple settlements with the name Perespa highlights its potential historical significance as a common designation for a place of refuge or temporary settlement. Further historical and linguistic research would be needed to fully understand the etymology and significance of the name across different regions of Russia.
