The word magdan means "ore" in Turkmen, and the suffix -ly means "with", hence "with ore". The area, in the foothills of the Köýtendag Mountains, is rich in various mineral ores. The former name, Gowurdak, referred to a mountain in that district which is mined for high-quality sulfur. Atanyyazow explains that the name Gowurdak "is derived from the local dialect gövür ('sulfur') and the word dag, yielding 'sulfur mountain'."[1]
HistoryEdit
The name of the city was changed from Gowurdak to Magdanly on 8 September, 2002.
On 25 November 2017, Magdanly was downgraded from a city with "district status" to a city "in a district", subordinate to Köýtendag District.[2]
Administrative DivisionsEdit
Prior to losing its status as "City with district status", the city of Magdanly also had the following village councils (geňeşlikler) under its jurisdiction:
Çärjew (Çärjew)
Ýürekdepe (Ýürekdepe, Aýrybaba)
Both of these village councils were incorporated in Köýtendag District. Later, on 9 November 2022, Ýürekdepe village council was dissolved, and its two subordinate villages were brought under the jurisdiction of Çärjew village council.
