Answer
Aqtöbe is the Kazakh name for Aktobe, a city in western Kazakhstan. The name "Aqtöbe" means "white hill" in Kazakh, referring to the prominent white chalk cliffs that surround the city. The city was originally known as Aktyubinsk, a Russian name meaning "white tent", but was renamed Aqtöbe in 1999 as part of Kazakhstan's efforts to promote its national identity.
