==Etymology== The village of Babəki was established in the middle of the 20th century by a group of young families which were moved out from the neighboring village of Çərçiboğan (Carchibogan) and settled in here. The toponym reflects in itself, the name of the national hero Babek. The name means "belonging to Babek, supporters of Babek".
