The main language spoken is Azeri. The name of the city, however, is like most other towns in Azerbaijan, of the Old Azari/Tati origin, meaning "down river" which the town at the foot of Mt. Sahand is. The district of Sarab in the same province, stands for "water source, or "river source." The proposal that the name is of Turkish origin, meaning "1000 home" is baseless and an innuendo.
