Magdanly, formerly known as Gowurdak or Gaurdak (in ), is a city in Köýtendag District, Lebap Province, Turkmenistan. In 2022, it had a population of 44,508 people.
==Etymology== The word magdan means "ore" in Turkmen, and the suffix -ly means "with", hence "with ore". The area, in the foothills of the Köýtendag Mountains, is rich in various mineral ores. The former name, Gowurdak, referred to a mountain in that district which is mined for high-quality sulfur. Atanyyazow explains that the name Gowurdak "is derived from the local dialect gövür ('sulfur') and the word dag, yielding 'sulfur mountain'."
