Etymology
[ edit ]
The word『Sêmêl』may originate from the Kurdish words 『sê』and "mil" meaning "three hills", or『sê mal』meaning "three homes".[7]
[ edit ]
Simele was a small Kurdish village until the mid-1910s as the village was populated by Armenian and Assyrian refugees fleeing massacres during Sayfo and the Armenian genocide .[8] During the Simele massacre in 1933, around three thousand Assyrians were massacred prompting many to flee the country as a consequence.[9] [10] The main Assyrian tribe in Simele at the time was Baz .[11]
In 2011, the population was mostly Kurdish with a small Assyrian minority of 635 people. Around half of the Assyrian minority adhere to the Assyrian Church of the East .[12] A small Armenian minority is still exists in the town.[12]
