Remontnoye (Russian: Ремонтное) is the name of several rural localities in Russia. The most prominently documented settlements bearing this name are located in Krasnodar Krai and the Republic of Kalmykia.
Etymology
The toponym derives from the Russian word remont (ремонт), meaning “repair” or “maintenance.” Such names are often historically associated with sites founded near repair facilities, workshops, or as service settlements for transportation routes.
