Etymology
In Turkmen, Çemenabat is a compound of the word "Çemen" that roughly translates as "Meadow," and the Persian word "Abat," which refers to a settled place.
It used to be spelled "Chemenibit" by the Russian. The name of the village was officially changed by parliamentary decree on 15 August 2009.[3]
