Khanty-Mansiysk is a hyphenated word combining the names of two Russian indigenous peoples local to the region, the Khanty and the Mansi, ending in "-sk" as is typical for the names of Russian towns, which means city. Before 1940, the settlement's name was Ostyako-Vogulsk, as these tribes were previously known as the Ostyaks and the Voguls, respectively.
