| dc.description.abstract | Up until the early 20th century the Republic of Azerbaijan was usually known as Aran and Shirvan. Aran is the other name of Aghvank, an area east of historic Armenia. Basing his research on data from contemporary historiographers as well as analyzing historical facts of the 5th-7th centuries, the author deduces that ‘Shirvan’ was not identified with an ethnicity, nor did it cover the geographic area it does now. However, as of the 7th century the name ‘Shirvan’ engulfed areas to the south of the originally denoted area on the north-western shores of the Caspian Sea. Thus, he concludes that the name ‘Shirvan’ spread between 5th and 7th centuries. The author notes as well that historiographers of the time mention a number of ethnicities and communities inhabiting the area, but none mentions ‘Shirvan’ as an ethnic or tribal grouping. Quoting Armenian and Arab historians of the Middle Ages, the author tries to unfold the evolution of the name ‘Shirvan’, which was first used by Arab historians of the Middle Ages. The author questions whether the name of an area in northern Azerbaijan, ‘Kheservan’ could have been transformed to the name ‘Shirvan’ and carried down from that area when the natives moved to the south and settled in the current Shirvan area, or whether this is simply a coincidence. The author delves into the meaning and the source of the name Shirvan, Shir means milk in Persian, or something sweet. He tries to make a connection between the meaning of this word and the root of the name Aghvank, namely agh, which means something good and sweet. | |
