Etymology

Aşağı Qışlaq (Ashaghy Kyshlak) is the foothill area. While the second component of the name of Ashaghy Kyshlak technically translates to "wintering", the translation should not be taken literally, as the villages of the Yukhary (Upper) Kyshlak and Ashaghy (Lower) Kyshlak are not suitable for wintering. The name is associated with the name of one of the arms of the Gyzyl Kyshlak tribe (Orta Kyshlak, Gyullu Kyshlak, Yazly Kyshlak, Yazy Kyshlak or Dyuz Kyshlak) of the Turkic Kengerli. The name of Ashaghy Kyshlak as an ethno toponym means "the lower part of the territory", and it is inhabited by the tribe of the kyshlhak.[2]
