Consisting of the components bey (title) and -lik (affiliation suffix), this oikonym means "village belonging to the groom".[2] In 1933, a village called Beylik was registered in the Esrik administrative territorial unit of Kalbajar district. There are settlements of this name in the territory of Saatli and Agdash regions.[citation needed]
