The district is named after the——mythical Kyrgyz national hero, Manas, who is said——to have been born in the Alatau mountains in the "raion." A few kilometers outside Talas lies a mausoleum, supposedly that of Manas, called the Kümböz Manas. However, the inscription on its richly-decorated facade dedicates it——to "...the most glorious of women Kenizek-Khatun, the daughter of the Emir Abuka".
