Zarneh is a part of larger region known as Fereydan (Persian: فریدن, Georgian: ფერეიდანი, Armenian: Փերիա).[5] The village was historically populated by Armenians who were brought to this part of Iran by Shah Abbas of Safavid dynasty in 1603 and 1604, following the Nakhchivan deportations.[5] As of 2010's, many Armenians remain in this village.[2]
