Chirchir was a winter pasture located in the territory of the Gazakh uezd of the former Yelizavetpol (Ganja) governorate, later in the former Shamshaddin (Berd) district, and present-day Tavush province. It was dissolved in 1930.

The toponym was coined on the basis of the word “chirchir” which is a phonetic variant of the word “shirshir” used in the sense of “a waterfall” in Azerbaijani.
