The **Ulvich** (Russian: Ульвич) is a river in [Perm Krai](/source/Perm_Krai), [Russia](/source/Russia), a [right](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/right_bank) tributary of the [Yayva](/source/Yayva_(river)).[1] It is 72 kilometres (45 mi) long, and its [drainage basin](/source/Drainage_basin) covers 401 square kilometres (155 sq mi).[2] It starts on the west slope of the [Kvarkush](/source/Kvarkush) mountain range. Its mouth is downstream of the village Sukhaya, 207 kilometres (129 mi) from the mouth of the Yayva River. There are some small tributaries.

## Etymology

The most believable version of the origin of the river's name is that it is a composition of the words ‘*ul*’ (‘wet’ in [Mansi language](/source/Mansi_language)) and ‘*vich*’ (‘branch’ from Russian ‘vichka’), so it can be translated as ‘wet branch’. Also, it is may be from the word ‘*vidz*’ (meadow), in which case Ulvich means ‘wet meadow’.
