Etymology

The village consists of two parts called Krokšlys and Šumas. Their both meaning is similar, only one name is Lithuanian (from kriokšlỹs 'a little waterfall', krokšlỹs, kriokšlỹs 'one who/which snores, crepitates') another is Belarussian (from шум 'a noise, murmur, tear'). Supposedly, it resonates a murmuring flow of the Ūla River.[3]
