The story

The placename(s) may be derived from several placenames that may or may not be connected with each other. The toponyms are probably from the choronyms. The choronyms, that is, nos. 2, 4, and 6 are from Old Iranian *ni-sāya- (‘place of lying down, resting-place, settlement, encampment’). For more also compare Nahavand and نهاوند a famous city located on the Nisaean plain.
