- While գուլպա describes a sock, in certain Armenian dialects, it is used to describe the 'sleeve' of a garment or a protective fabric casing for an object.
- The Armenian word գուլպա is borrowed from the Turkish word çorap, which in turn comes from the Persian word 'jurab'.
- The Armenian term for tights, գուլպա-կոլգոտկներ, is a hybrid creation that combines the native Armenian word for sock with a loanword from Russian.
