Etymology
On 6 September 2004 by Parliamentary Resolution 227-II the city was renamed in honor of the mother of President Saparmurat Niyazov.[1] Prior to that, it was named Ýylanly, which in Turkmen means "with snakes". Atanyyazow [who?] explains that this city, along with several other locations in Turkmenistan, received that name due to an abundance of snakes in the area.[2]
History
In the Soviet period Ýylanly was designated a "town of urban type" (Russian: посёлок городского типа) and administrative center of Ýylanly District. In June 2016 by parliamentary decree Gurbansoltan eje adyndaky was upgraded to the status of "city in a district" (Turkmen: etrapdaky şäher). The same decree subordinated the villages of Hazarasp, Garamergen, and Depmechi to the city.[3]
