Etymology

Chah Varz's name is different in historical books, as "Chah Vard" or "Chah Bord". Ali-Akbar Dehkhoda wrote Chah Varz's name in the Dehkhoda Dictionary as "Chah Varzd," "Chah" meaning "water well" and "Vard" meaning Flower, translating to "Well of Flower."

Old Arabic authors wrote Chah Varz's name as "Chah Bord", meaning "Well of Rock" in English.

Old Chah Varzian people say the name was "Chah Varzā," which translates to "Well of Ox," saying the reason for this refers to the people of the town bringing oxen to retrieve water from the well.
