# Narva

A settlement in Estonia.

## English name

**Narva** — Established English use of the Estonian Latin-script name.

Other forms in use:

- **Narwa** — Historical German and Swedish spelling, established in English histories of the Great Northern War.
- **Нарва** — Russian Cyrillic name used by the city’s Russian-speaking community; an original-script search form, not an English romanization.

## French name

**Narva** — Same spelling as in English; established French name, normally used without an article.

Other forms in use:

- **Narwa** — Older spelling used in French histories, especially accounts of the Great Northern War.

## About

Narva is an Estonian border city on the river of the same name, opposite Ivangorod in Russia. Its castle and the former Kreenholm textile works reflect its roles as a fortress town and an industrial centre.

## Notes

Narva is distinct from the seaside town Narva-Jõesuu. The name itself needs no romanization from Estonian.
