Etymology


The Turkmen word sandykgaçy means "box". Atanyyazow explains that in antiquity the name appeared as "Sandykgachan", meaning "boxed (in)", because of the high, steep slopes that enclose the village.[3]


Transportation


The village is served by both the A-388 highway between Serhetabat and Ýolöten and a station on the rail line to Serhetabat.[4]
