The official Russian name of the village, Karagali, is a phonetic adaptation of Каргалык (Qarğalıq, 'place with many crows'), the original name used by its predominantly Nogai and Tatar residents. A welcome sign installed by Karagali residents by the road connecting Astrakhan to Kamyzyak displays both names of the village.
