According to the Armenian language scholar, Heinrich Hubschmann, the city of Nakhichavan, which does mean „Place of First Descent“ in Armenian, was not known by that name in antiquity. Rather, he says the present-day name evolved to „Nakhichavan“ from „Naxcavan“. The prefix „Naxc“ was a name and „avan“ is Armenian for „town“» // See the work of Heinrich Hubschmann in "Armeniaca, « Strassburger Festschrift zur XLVI Versammlung Deutscher Philologen und Schulmanner (Strassburg: Verlag von Karl Tauberner, 1901), Section V. cited in Lloyd R.

Meskawayh (II, pp 148-49, tr. V, p. 157) records how a former commander of the Sajids, Daysam b. Ebrāhim, backed by a largely Kurdish body of troops, contended for supremacy in Azerbaijan during the years 327-45/938-57 and from a base at Ardabil expanded into Armenia and captured Naḵjavān and Dvin or Dābel. Subsequently, control of Naḵjavān was contested by the Shaddadids, who were apparently of Kurdish stock and whose main branch became based on Ganja and Dvin, by the Mosaferids, and by the Rawwadids, who were probably Kurdicized Arabs.
The Saljuqs appeared in northwestern Iran and then Arrān, first in the time of Ṭoḡrel Beg and then in greater strength under Alp Arslān, who began the systematic conquest of Armenia, but it was under the Ildegizid Atabegs of northwestern Iran (see ATĀBAKĀN-e ĀḎARBĀYJĀN) that Naḵjavān especially flourished in the later 6th/12th century.
Many Kangarlu settled north of the river Aras, probably in around 1500, when the Ostājlu moved into Azerbaijan. At the beginning of the 19th century, J. M.
