Ayarli is a village in the Echmiadzin uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Uchkilsa (Echmiadzin, Vagharshapat) district, and currently in the Armavir province. The provincial centre lies 25 km to the northeast of the town of Serdarabad (Armavir), by the tributary of the Abaran River, and at a height of 975 m above sea level. It was marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

The village was inhabited by 38 Azerbaijanis in 1831, 265 in 1873, 252 in 1886, 355 in 1897, 353 in 1904, 373 in 1914 and 339 Azerbaijanis in 1916. In 1918 the inhabitants of the village were massacred or deported from their historical-ethnic land having been exposed to Armenian aggression. The surviving Azerbaijanis managed to return to their ancestral land following the establishment of Soviet power in the present-day Armenian territory. In 1922 only 97 Azerbaijanis lived there. They were ousted from the village in 1924–1925, Armenians and Kurds were settled in their places. At present, Armenians live in the village.

The toponym was coined on the basis of the tribal name “Ayarli” formed from the word “ayari” denoting “a stratum of the urban poor who had their own organization and were aimed at assisting the poor at the expense of the rich”.

By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR dated 25 January 1978, the village was renamed “Lernamerdz”. According to the law “On the administrative-territorial division of the Republic of Armenia” dated 7 November 1995, it was integrated into the administrative area of the Armavir province.
