Name
The folk etymology behind the name Kulangār is for it to having to do with a story about a crane (Persian: kulang, کلنگ).[2] The more likely origin of the name however are the Dardic words kul meaning "tribe" and aṅgār meaning "fire", making up the meaning "fire tribe". This origin may be a relic of the Dardic languages native to the region in pre-Islamic times.
