History and Etymology
In written historic courses which have been saved up to the present, the village has been mentioned for the first time in a Georgian Gospel's Anderdzi (postscript), written in 1300–1310, during the reign of king George V the Brilliant of Georgia. It is said that catholicos of Georgia Ekvtime III visited Lekarti Saint Nino church, then part of the Kak-Eliseni district of the Kakheti province of Kingdom of Georgia.[2] Originally the village was called "Lekarti". The postal code is AZ 3424.
Georgian sources claim that the village's oldest name "Lekarti" (Georgian: ლექართი) is of Georgian origins and means "the place of Georgians" and that among the Dagestani Lezgins the village is also known as "Georgians' village".[3] Letifova E.M considers that actual origin of toponym of villages such as Lekit, Lekit-Ketuklu, Lekit-Malakh in former Ilisu Sultanate are derived from ethnonym of Leg tribe of Caucasian Albania.[4]
