Chilakhanli was a village in the territory of the Iravan uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Gamarli (Artashat) district, and present-day Ararat province. The name of the village was noted as “Chilikhanli”, “Chinakhanli” in Armenian sources and noted as “Chinakhan” in “The Iravan Province Review Book”.

The village was inhabited by the Gafarlilar, a branch of the Turkic Gazakh tribe. The village was inhabited by 237 Azerbaijanis in 1831, 535 in 1873, 569 in 1886, 698 in 1897, 752 in 1904, 827 in 1914 and 866 Azerbaijanis in 1916. The Azerbaijanis were attacked, massacred or expelled from the village by Armenian armed units in 1918. After the establishment of Soviet power in present-day Armenia, the Azerbaijanis who survived could return to their village. There lived 131 Azerbaijanis in 1922, 220 in 1926 and 246 Azerbaijanis in 1931. In accordance with the decision of the USSR Council of Ministers “On the resettlement of collective farmers and other Azerbaijani population from the Armenian SSR to the Kur-Araz lowland of the Azerbaijan SSR” dated 23 December 1947, the Azerbaijanis were forcibly deported to Azerbaijan. Later, the village was abolished. At present, it is ruined.

The toponym was coined on the basis of the multi- generational family name “Chilovkhanli” of the Turkic Mughanli tribe. The multi-generational family name “Chilovkhanli” has been assimilated to “Chilakhanli” according to the rules of the spoken language).
