==Etymology== It is one of the earliest settlements of the Azerbaijani people. According to some researchers, the oykonim is related with the Turkic word of ''xok'' (khok) // ''xak'' (khak) which is used in meaning of the "meadow, pasture". Also could be assumed that the name originated from the Iranian word of the ''xak'' (land).<ref>''Encyclopedic dictionary of Azerbaijan toponyms''. In two volumes. Volume I. p. 304.
