Ganja, Azerbaijan
Ganja ((アゼルバイジャン語:Gəncə)) is Azerbaijan's second-largest city with a population of just over 320,000. It was named Elisabethpol () in the Russian Empire period. The city regained its original name Ganja in 1920 during the first part of its incorporation into the Soviet Union. However, its name was changed again in 1935 to Kirovabad () and retained it throughout the later Soviet period from 1935. Finally in 1989, during Perestroika, the city regained the original name.
==Etymology==
Even though some sources from medieval Islamic time attribute the building of the town to a Muslim Arab ruler, modern historians believe that the fact that the name ''Ganja'' derives from the New Persian ''ganj'' ("treasure") and in Arabic source the name is recorded as ''Janza'' (from the Middle Persian ''ganza'') suggests that the city existed in pre-Islamic times and was likely founded in the 5th century.〔(Encyclopedia Iranica, "Ganja", C. Edmund Bosworth ) 〕 The area in which Ganja is located was known as ''Arran'' from the 9th to 12th century; its urban population spoke mainly in the Persian language.〔(Дьяконов, Игорь Михайлович.
