Etymology
[edit | edit source]The name of the county, like most other towns in East Azerbaijan, is of Azeri Turkish origin, means "1000 houses." The meaning "water base" can be considered true because back when the Lake Urmia had yet to lose more than half of its water, digging ground for 5 meters gained access to water in Bonab, but it is not an original meaning.[citation needed]
