Etymology: Capoeta: The local vernacular name "kapwaeti" used in Georgia and Azerbaikhan (Ref. 45335); pyragyi: Named for Magtymguly Pyragy (Persian: مختومقلسردواغس ), a Turkmen spiritual leader and philosophical poet.
Eponymy: Magtymguly Pyragy (1724–c.1807) was a Turkmen spiritual leader and philosophical poet. Though he promoted Turkmen unity, he had little success in his own time due to local rivalries and tribal loyalties. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
