Dänew[2] (Russian: Дейнау) is a city and capital of Dänew District in Lebap Province, Turkmenistan. It received the status of urban-type settlement in 1935. Prior to 2001, it was named Dänew; from 2001 until 2017 the city was named Galkynyş.[3]
The name Dänew is Persian or Tajik in origin, derived from deh ("village") and nov ("new"), meaning "new village".[4] The word galkynyş means "revival, renewal" in Turkmen and is sometimes translated as "renaissance".[5]
