Several locatives derived from the Modoc or Achomawi: ''lutuami'', lit: "lake dwellers", ''móatakni'', "tule lake dwellers", respectively, could have also led to spelling variations that ultimately made the word what it is today. No evidence suggests that the name is of Klamath origin. The Klamath themselves called the region ''Yulalona'' or ''Iwauna'', which referred to the phenomenon of the

(DEQ) significant efforts are being made to improve the air quality in the Klamath Basin. The following excerpts are from a report produced by DEQ in September 2012. ::Because of topography, weather and a large number of woodstoves, the Klamath Falls area has a long history of identifying problems with particulate pollutions and working to solve them. With increased understanding of the health effects of particulates, EPA has made the standards more protective over time, addressing smaller sized particles that are the most hazardous but more difficult to control. Since 1994, the Klamath Falls area has attained the larger or coarse (PM10) particulate matter standard. In 2009, with the adoption of a fine particulate (PM2.5) matter standard, EPA changed the legal status of the Klamath Falls Area from attainment (meeting air quality standards) to nonattainment (not meeting air quality standards) for fine particulate matter (PM2.5). DEQ has adopted an attainment plan with associated regulations to ensure that the Klamath Falls area meets the current PM2.5 standard." ::In November 2007, Klamath County revised its Clean Air Ordinance to implement early particulate reductions, including: ::* Revising woodstove curtailment levels to restrict wood burning when weather conditions could lead to accumulation of particulate in the Klamath Falls area ::* Requiring removal of an uncertified woodstove upon sale of a home ::* Prohibiting the use of burn barrels ::* Tightening enforcement of wood stove curtailment ::* A series of woodstove change-out efforts funded by the City of Klamath Falls,
