==Etymology==
The former name of the village was the '''Çullu''' (Chullu). To distinguish settlement from the other same named villages ([[Agdam District|Aghdam]], [[Jabrayil District|Jabrail]] regions, [[Southern Azerbaijan]]) it took ''Kürd'' component from the name of the nearby [[Kürkənd, Nakhchivan|Kürdkənd]] village and became ''Kürd Çullu'', means "the Çullu village near the Kürdkənd". Since 2003, the name of the village was officially registered as '''Kürçülü'''. According to researchers, the correct version of the name is ''Çollu'' and the name reflects on itself, the name of ''çol'' tribe of the [[Huns]].{{cn|date=October 2022}}
