Etymology
The previous name of the village was Məzrəurs. It is believed that the settlement is so called, because it was founded in the arable land called Məzrə of the village of Nurs. Məzrə مزرعه in Persian (itself originally from Arabic) means "suitable land for arable, arable land and field", "a settlement founded on the basis of arable lands, hamlet, a small settlement".[2]
