語源

Borrowed from Turkmen Aşgabat, from Classical Persian عِشْق‌آبَاد (išq-ābād, literally “city of love”), compound of عِشْق (išq, “love”) +‎ آبَاد (ābād, “city”).

Alternatively, some historians believe that the city was originally named after Ashk/Arshk, the founder of the Arsacid Dynasty, and hold that the term عِشْق (išq) was a reinterpretation influenced by folk etymology.
