Abstract. The article examines the origin and the development of a popular image of Yarkhadan and the meaning of literary works, reflecting folk legends about her. The conclusion is made that the name of a cold mountainous river is put in the foundation of the folklore image of Yarkhadan, a river and a girl. The peculiarity of a "frozen" river served the reason for the creation of the topic of an unhappy love in the folklore. On account of the semantics of the name and love collisions in the folklore a dual view concerning the image of the girl Yarkhadan appears: on the one hand, she is the one, who isn’t able to love, on the other hand - she is the one, who overcomes hardships and miseries. In the works by the Yukagir writers S. N. Kurilov "Legends about Yarkhadan" and G. N. Dyachkov "The Rose Seagull" Yarkhadan becomes the symbol of bravery and decisiveness, moral strength and spiritual renovation.
