Its maximum depth, where it flows into the <a href="/wiki/Bosphorus" class="mw-redirect" title="Bosphorus">Bosphorus</a>, is about 35 meters (115 feet). While the reference to a "horn" is understood to refer to the inlet's aerial silhouette, the significance of the designation "golden" remains more obscure, with historians believing it to refer to either the riches brought into the city through the bustling historic harbor located along its shores, or to romantic artistic interpretations of the rich yellow light blazing upon the estuary's waters as the sun sets over the city. Its Greek and English names mean the same, while its Turkish name, <i><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Hali%C3%A7" class="extiw" title="wiktionary:Haliç">Haliç</a></i>, simply means "estuary", and derives from the Arabic word <a href="/wiki/Khaleej_(disambiguation)" class="mw-redirect mw-disambig" title="Khaleej (disambiguation)"><i>khaleej</i></a>, meaning <a href="/wiki/Gulf_(geography)" class="mw-redirect" title="Gulf (geography)">"gulf"</a>.
