According to Soviet Armenian Encyclopedia, the name means "humid place" in Georgian. But sounds like folk etymology. --Vahag (talk) 13:43, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

[edit]I find alazan, ʿalazan, ʿalzan, ʿalzen meaning ‘lake’ in several North-East Caucasian languages. See Климов Г. А., Халилов М. Ш., Словарь кавказских языков. Сопоставление основной лексики, 2003, page 203. Needs more research. --Vahag (talk) 20:35, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
