The Turkish name for the bath was once the “Green Column Bath,” which it got because one of the eight columns that held the vault above its pool was green. The opinion of researchers is divided on the development of the Hungarian name. Some say that the name Rudas refers to the ferry that transports guests from Pest to Buda, but there are many other theories as well.
