== Etymology == The name "Lozovaya" comes from the word "vine." According to one version of the origin of the city's name, the Lozovaya River (a hydronymic version of the astionim) flowed through Lozovaya. According to another, the banks of this river were filled with vines, which gave the river, and then the city, its name.
