Etymology

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