From Middle Persian(čšmk'/čašmag/, “spring, source”), from (čšm/čašm/, “eye”) + (-k'/-ag/),[1] equivalent to modern چشم(čašm, “eye”) + ـه(-e).
A relation between eye and spring seems to be common in the area. Compare Baluchiچمگ(cammag, “spring, source”) from چم(camm, “eye”), Gilakiچمار(čumâr, “spring”) from چم(čum, “eye”), Arabicعَيْن(ʕayn, “spring, eye”), and Old Armenianակն(akn, “eye, spring”).
