Etymology
The previous name of the village was Aralıq Başkənd (Aralyg Bashkend). The second component of the name was to distinguish the village from the same-named settlement. Aralıq means "middle, the center". In the Turkic languages, the word başkənd (bashkend) means "center", "main city", and "capital". The name of the village means "the Aralıq village which is located in the upper side".[2]
