According to local residents, the village was named Üstüpir because of the in the upper (üst) side of the village was the sanctuary (pir), and later the name a bit distorted. At the western group of dialects of the Azerbaijani language ustupulu / ustuflu / ustublu used in meaning "neat, inhabited, prosperous". It can be assumed that the name of the ancient village is connected with the same meaning.[3]
