Gurbansoltan eje adyndaky

Gurbansoltan eje adyndaky, until 2004 called Ýylanly, is a city and capital of Gurbansoltan Eje District in Daşoguz Province, Turkmenistan. 
Etymology.
On 6 September 2004 by Parliamentary Resolution 227-II the city was renamed in honor of the mother of President Saparmurat Niyazov. Prior to that, it was named Ýylanly, which in Turkmen means "with snakes". Atanyyazow explains that this city, along with several other locations in Turkmenistan, received that name due to an abundance of snakes in the area. 
History.
In the Soviet period Ýylanly was designated a "town of urban type" () 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" (). The same decree subordinated the villages of Hazarasp, Garamergen, and Depmechi to the city.
