Hojambaz or Hodzhambas is a city and capital of Hojambaz District in Lebap Province, Turkmenistan.
==Etymology== The name of the city is derived from Persian word "Khâjeh-Jangbâz" ("خواجهجنگباز"), consisting of two parts, "Khâjeh" ("خواجه") being a commonly used honorific title, and "Jangbâz" ("جنگباز"), meaning "warrior". The name was adopted into Turkmen as "Hoja-Jeňbaz". The name then underwent phonetic modifications, such as a change in vowel in order to adhere to Vowel harmony rules of Turkmen, becoming "Hoja-Jaňbaz", and reduction of the two subsequent "ja" syllables into one, thus becoming "Hojaňbaz", ultimately evolving to its modern form "Hojambaz".
