Etymology
The name Dänew is Persian or Tajik in origin, derived from deh ("village") and nov ("new"), meaning "new village".[2]
The city was briefly renamed Galkynyş (2001-2017);[3] In Turkmen, the word galkynyş roughly means "revival" or "renewal" and is sometimes translated as "renaissance" or "rebirth".[4]
