[edit]
Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Armenian Ճապաղջուր (Čapaġǰur), from Old Armenian Ճապաղջուր (Čapałǰur), from ճապաղ (čapał, “spread”) + ջուր (ǰur, “water”). In 1944 the settlement was renamed Bingöl, from bin (“thousand”) + göl (“lake”); however, the province is not rich in lakes, but rather in small tarns scattered around the city.
