Naming
The branded labels use the name of Mount Uludağ located in western Turkey. Previously,[when?] the drink was made exclusively from water sources of this mountain. Gazoz is a Turkish lemonade variety, and Uludağ Gazoz is the most well known. The word Gazoz is based on the French word gazeuse or in English gaseous or in Arabic "Gazuz"; in the Turkish language, it generally refers to carbonated sweetened lemonade of any kind.
