== Etymology == There is speculation about the origin of the name. It is agreed that part of the toponym can be broken down into the Quechua word "challwa" meaning 'fish'. Cerrón Palomino proposes the hypothesis that the name can be decomposed into "challwa" and the Quechua suffix "-nqa," meaning 'fishing place.' This suffix would have been a deverbal and denominal derivational suffix functioning as a future participle. With toponyms, it would have been used with the meaning of 'place prone to (something)' or 'place intended for (something),' maintaining the nuance of the future participle. Thus, it results in the given meaning of 'place for fishing.'
