The historical name of Derindere village is Kheva. The Georgian place name Kheva (ხევა) derives from the word "hevi" (ხევი), meaning "valley" or "stream." Indeed, Georgian researcher Konstantine Martvileli writes that the village was given this name because it was located at the head of a stream. [3]
