The names of several inhabited localities locating along the river's bank are derived from the river's name (Gus-Khrustalny, Gusevsky, Gus-Zhelezny, Gus-Parakhino, Gusevsky Pogost). According to Vladimir Nikonov, the literal translation of the river's name as "goose" is a folk etymology, and the origin of the name lies in an unknown substrate language from which some other local toponyms ending with "-us" (i.e. Charus, Iberdus etc.) also derive.[2]
On the river Gus the Gus Crystal plant is located. It is world-famous production site of original Russian crystal which gave the name to the Gus-Khrustalny city.
