Inkerman is said to mean a "cave fortress" in Turkish. During the Soviet era (1976–1991) it was known as Bilokamiansk or Belokamensk , which literally means "White Stone City", as a reference to the soft white stone quarried in the area and commonly used for construction, but since then it has regained its pre-Soviet name.
