Etymology
[edit]Its previous name was Rəməşin. In the first half of the 19th century, the new founded settlement was named as Aşağı (Lower) Remeşin, and the old village was named as Yuxarı (Upper) Remeşin. The name of Rəməşin made out from the word of irəmə (the rough land, uneven place) in dialects of Azerbaijani language and şin/şen (place of residence, village) means "the village in the uneven place". Since 2003, the name of the village has officially been registered as Güney Qışlaq. The current name of the place is related to the Kyzyl Kishlak tribe, one of the arms of the Turkic Kengerli tribe.[3]
