# Iława

A settlement in Poland.

## English name

**Iława** — Polish Latin-script name used in English; the native spelling is retained rather than retransliterating the Ukrainian input label.

Other forms in use:

- **Deutsch Eylau** — Historical German name used in English historical and genealogical writing; not the current Polish name.
- **Eylau** — Shortened historical German name; potentially ambiguous with Preußisch Eylau, now Bagrationovsk.
- **Ilawa** — Spelling without native diacritics, used in English plain-text indexes and international search; not a separate exonym.

## French name

**Iława** — Same spelling as in English; French references retain the local Latin-script name, without a fixed article.

Other forms in use:

- **Deutsch Eylau** — German historical name retained in French writing about the former German town; not the ordinary present-day French name.
- **Eylau** — Short historical form; French accounts of the Battle of Eylau usually refer to a different town.
- **Ilawa** — French plain-text and search variant without native diacritics; the main form keeps the local spelling.

## About

Iława is a town in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship on Lake Jeziorak. It is a railway junction and a centre for lake tourism.

## Notes

Do not confuse with the East Prussian battlefield town now called Bagrationovsk. Input label 'Ілава' is Ukrainian or an indirect spelling; local\_name is restored to the native-language form.
