Etymology

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 Baluchi چمگ (cammag, spring, source) from چم (camm, eye), Gilaki چمار (čumâr, spring) from چم (čum, eye), Arabic عَيْن (ʕayn, spring, eye), and Old Armenian ակն (akn, eye, spring).
