Dzhigurty

Dzhigurty (Russian: Джигурты, Chechen: ЖугӀурта, Ƶuġurta) is a village (selo) in Kurchaloyevsky District, Chechnya.

The nearest settlements to Dzhigurty are Bachi-Yurt and Akhmat-Yurt in the north-east, Gansolchu in the south-east, Akhkinchu-Borzoy and Yalkhoy-Mokhk in the south, Khidi-Khutor in the south-west, and Mayrtup in the north-west.

The name Dzhigurty originates from the Chechen: жагӏа ара тӏе, translating roughly as "gravel meadow".

[2] Due to this, during the 18th and 19th centuries, Dzhigurty became a center for the production of such weapons in the north-eastern Caucasus.

[3] In 1958, after the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village regained its old Chechen name, Dzhigurty.
