From Proto-Turkic *čakïr (“light grey, greyish blue”). Cognate with Karakhanid [script needed] (čaqïr, “blue, grey (of eyes)”), Kazakh шағыр (şağyr, “blue/grey eyes”), Bashkir шағыр (şağır, “whitish”), etc.

The senses ”wine, intoxicating drink” seems to have a different etymology. Cognate with Kipchak [script needed] (čager, “wine”) (attested in Codex Cumanicus), Turkmen çakyr (“wine”), Azerbaijani çaxır (“wine”), etc.
