Etymology

The settlement of Yeniyol (New road) was built in the years of the Soviet rule and as a symbol it was named like this. Since 2003, the name of the village was officially registered as Məmmədrza Dizə which was existed in this territory in the past. The name was made up from the components of Məmmədrza (Məmmədrza is the person name) and Dizə (the old term of Iranian origin, means as "village", "castle", "fortified") means "a village belonging to Mammadrza".[3]
