Neshlaj (Persian: نشلج) is a village in Neyasar Rural District of Neyasar District, Kashan County, Isfahan Province, Iran.

Etymology

Folk etymology derives the name Neshlaj from the phrase Noh-salj (نثلج), meaning "nine-snow" and interpreted to mean that there are nine months of snow each year in the village. A more probable origin, according to Habib Borjian, is a derivation from a prefix, either *ni- ("down") or *niš- ("out"), attached to a root such as *rak ("arrange"), referring to the prominent ridges and gorges around the village.
