Population
By the time the Russians arrived in the Caucasus at the beginning of the 19th century, Muslim families lived in the village, who recognized themselves as Azerbaijanis, but still remembered the Udi language [2] .
According to the " Caucasian calendar " for 1856, Mikhlikovakh of the Kabalin district was inhabited by Sunni Tatars (Azerbaijanis), who spoke Tatar (Azerbaijani) among themselves [4] .
According to statistics from 1893, the ethnic composition of Mykhlykovag (Mikhlikovakh) was represented by Azerbaijanis [5] .
Name Origin
The name consists of two words: mykh - in Azerbaijani, a nail and govakh which means poplar. According to legend, in the village in the past there was a huge poplar tree, according to the Azerbaijani dialect, in which many nails were driven due to activities located near the forge where the horses were forged [6] .
