== Etymology == According to some researchers, the name of the city comes from an old name for the Terek River. A folk etymology for the name Kizlyar is from an unspecified Turkic language, meaning "girls". According to Vyacheslav Nikonov, the correct translation of this Turkic toponym is "red cliff".
