# Rîbnița

A settlement in Moldova.

## English name

**Rîbnița** — Romanian-script name used in Moldovan geographical references; preferred here over Russian-based Rybnitsa.

Other forms in use:

- **Ribnita** — Diacritic-free rendering of the Romanian-script name.
- **Rîbniţa** — Older Romanian typography uses t-cedilla instead of t-comma; the same place name.
- **Râbnița** — Romanian orthographic variant using â within the word; Moldovan official lists commonly retain î here.
- **Rybnitsa** — Established Russian-based English form, also used by the de facto Transnistrian administration.
- **Rybnytsia** — Ukrainian-based romanization of Рибниця under the Ukrainian national 2010 system.
- **Рыбница** — Russian Cyrillic name, also the spelling used in Moldovan Cyrillic.
- **Рибниця** — Ukrainian Cyrillic name.

## French name

**Rîbnița** — Same Romanian-script form as in English; attested in French references alongside Rybnitsa.

Other forms in use:

- **Rybnitsa** — Russian-based form also current in French accounts of Transnistria.
- **Ribnita** — French typography sometimes drops both Romanian diacritics.
- **Rîbniţa** — Legacy t-cedilla typography in French references to the Romanian-script name.
- **Râbnița** — Variant reflecting Romanian â spelling; distinguish it from the Moldovan official î form.

## About

Rîbnița is an industrial city on the east bank of the Dniester, opposite Rezina in Moldova. Its steelworks are a major feature of the economy of the Transnistrian region.

## Notes

MD denotes internationally recognized sovereignty. The city is administered by the de facto Transnistrian authorities; Romanian, Russian and Ukrainian naming traditions coexist. No recent municipal renaming is implied by î/â or ț/ţ variation.
