Ghanjah

Ghanjah (also spelled Ghanja) is a historical spelling variation of the name Ganja, a city located in Azerbaijan. Historically, it referred to the same geographical location and entity as the modern city of Ganja. The spelling Ghanjah, while once common, is now considered archaic and is rarely used in contemporary contexts. References to Ghanjah are typically found in older historical texts, maps, and documents pertaining to the region's history, particularly from the periods when Persian and Russian influences were prevalent. Modern usage overwhelmingly favors the spelling "Ganja." Understanding that "Ghanjah" and "Ganja" are essentially the same place name is important when researching historical references to the city and region.
