Origins


Qımır is one of the villages in the Caucasus where the Cimmerians (Gmry) are believed to have settled during the I millenium BC.[2] Cimmerians were nomads who were successful in attacking Urartu and conquering Lydia in Anatolia. According to Herodotus, Cimmerians (Qımıroi) have fled through Caucasus to Anatolia.[3] Possible that a small group of nomadic Cimmerians, has settled in the Caucasus and the Village name of Qımır is an ethnotoponym.
