Etymology edit

At this time of the year, rams and goats are tied up with an apron made of felt (küyek) to protect them from premature mating, so that sheep and goats do not bear offspring until May. The villagers carried out this action in the foothills (qır), where pastures began. Combining the words "qır" and "küyek", the month was given the name "qırküyek".
