==Name== The word konotop denotes a place where horses drowned, that is, any swampy, impassable place.

Konotop is a common Slavic toponym; settlements with this name exist not only in Ukraine, but also in Poland, Belarus and Russia. In several dialects of Ukrainian, the konotop () also refers to the herbaceous plant, common knotweed.
