Kerpiçli, formerly known as Kirpili, is a village in Ak bugdaý District, Ahal Province, Turkmenistan. It is subordinate to the town of Bokurdak. In 2022, it had a population of 7 people.[1]

Etymology

In Turkmen, the word "Kerpiç" roughly translates as "Brick." The suffix -li is used to form adjectives or to signify the presence of something. "Kerpiçli" means there is a presence of bricks.

As the word "Kerpiç" is borrowed from "Кирпич" ("Kirpich") in Russian, the name of the village was misspelled as "Kirpili" until 2009. The name was then changed along with a long list of other toponyms.[2]
