Etymology

The name of this city branches from the old Persian word, Shīr (Persian: شیر, 'Lion').[9] It might be because of the mountain in the south of the city which looks like a big lion at rest. The history of Shirvan is more than 7000 years old, as archaeologists found some graves in Gelian and Khanlogh (Villages of Shirvan) which are related to Achaemenid Empire era. The city was fortified and strengthened as a fort city during the Safavid era to defend it against hostile raiding Turkmens.
