The name <i>Charbakh</i> is derived from the Persian words of <i>char (چهار)</i> meaning <i>four</i>, and <i>bagh (باغ)</i> meaning <i>garden</i>. The origin of the name is from the 4 farms or gardens that existed earlier in the area at the southeast of Shengavit, on the left bank of <a href="/wiki/Hrazdan_River" class="mw-redirect" title="Hrazdan River">Hrazdan River</a>. The village was mainly home to Armenian migrants from <a href="/wiki/Nakhchivan_(city)" title="Nakhchivan (city)">Nakhichevan</a> and <a href="/wiki/Van,_Turkey" title="Van, Turkey">Van</a>. With the notable expansion of Charbakh during the 1950s, the village was divided into Verin Charbakh (Higher Charbakh) and Nerkin Charbakh (Lower Charbakh). In 1958, Charbakh became part of the newly-formed <i>Shahumyan raion</i> (Шаумянский район), thus becoming absorbed by the city Yerevan. </p><p>After the independence of Armenia, the <i>Shengavit District</i> was formed in 1996, including the territories of the former <i>Spandaryan raion</i> (Спандарянский район), parts of the former <i>Ordzhonikidze raion</i> (Орджоникидзевский район), and the neighbourhood of Charbakh of the former <i>Shahumyan raion</i> (Шаумянский район). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Demographics">Demographics</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Shengavit_District&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Demographics"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Surb_Gevorg_(Tsiranavor_Surb_Gevorg)_Church,_Noragavit3.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Surb_Gevorg_%28Tsiranavor_Surb_Gevorg%29_Church%2C_Noragavit3.JPG/220px-Surb_Gevorg_%28Tsiranavor_Surb_Gevorg%29_Church%2C_Noragavit3.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Surb_Gevorg_%28Tsiranavor_Surb_Gevorg%29_Church%2C_Noragavit3.JPG/330px-Surb_Gevorg_%28Tsiranavor_Surb_Gevorg%29_Church%2C_Noragavit3.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Surb_Gevorg_%28Tsiranavor_Surb_Gevorg%29_Church%2C_Noragavit3.JPG/440px-Surb_Gevorg_%28Tsiranavor_Surb_Gevorg%29_Church%2C_Noragavit3.JPG 2x" data-file-width="4000" data-file-height="3000" /></a><figcaption>Surp Gevork Church of Noragavit</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Surb_Kiraki_Church,_Noragavit.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Surb_Kiraki_Church%2C_Noragavit.JPG/220px-Surb_Kiraki_Church%2C_Noragavit.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Surb_Kiraki_Church%2C_Noragavit.JPG/330px-Surb_Kiraki_Church%2C_Noragavit.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Surb_Kiraki_Church%2C_Noragavit.JPG/440px-Surb_Kiraki_Church%2C_Noragavit.JPG 2x" data-file-width="4000" data-file-height="3000" /></a><figcaption>Surp Kiraki Church of Noragavit</figcaption></figure> <p>As of the 2022 census, the district had a population of 140,525, which is 12.93% of Yerevan city population and ranked 1st among the Yerevan districts.<sup id="cite_ref-2022_Census_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2022_Census-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Shengavit is mainly populated by Armenians who belong to the <a href="/wiki/Armenian_Apostolic_Church" title="Armenian Apostolic Church">Armenian Apostolic Church</a>.
