Darbankhi

Darbankhi (Russian: Дарбанхи, Chechen: Дарбанхи,[1], Darbanxi; Kumyk: Янгы Борагъан, Yañı Borağan) is a rural locality (a selo) in Gudermessky District, Chechnya.

The nearest settlements to Darbankhi are the city of Gudermes in the south-east, Ilinovskaya in the south-west, Vinogradnoye in the north-west, Chervlennaya-Uzolvaya in the north, and Braguny in the north-east.

[3] The name Darbankhi comes from the Chechen language and translates roughly as "healing water".

In 1957, when the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village regained its old name, Istisu-Khutor.

[6] In 1977, by a decree of the Presidium of the Armed Forces of the RSFSR, the village at the railway crossing of Braguny, was renamed from Istisu-Khutor and was given its modern name, Darbankhi.
