Etymology

Its previous name was Kalbaoruc Dizə (Kalbaoruj Diza). The name was made up from the components of Kalbaoruj (Karbalayi Oruj has been the name of person which was distorted during the pronunciation) and diza (the old term of Iranian origin, means as "village", "castle", "fortified") means "a village belonging to Karbalayi Oruj". Later the word of Kalba (Karbalayi) was dropped from the name. Since 2003, the name of the village again was officially registered as Kalbaoruc Dizə.[3]
