Urgut is the name of the city and village district in Samarkand Province. Toponym appears the form of “Arkut” in historical sources.
According to S. Koraev, place names like Urgut appear in other regions of Uzbekistan. For example, in the Fergana valley, in Khorezm.
So, toponym can be associated with the name Arghu tribe. Mahmud Kashghari wrote that Arghu is the name of the Turkish tribe (DLT, 1, p. 114).
The version of toponym in ancient information also confirms our opinion. Make a comparison: argut - arkut - Urgut. A letter T is a plural forming additive in ancient Turkic and Mongolian languages. Urgut means "argut, argular" (Dusimov Z., A Egamov Kh ,brief explanatory dictionary of place names, T: Teacher, 1977, p. 138).
