# Mińsk Mazowiecki

A settlement in Poland.

## English name

**Mińsk Mazowiecki** — Current Polish Latin-script name, retained in English; no transliteration is needed.

Other forms in use:

- **Minsk Mazowiecki** — Diacritic-free rendering of the Polish name, used where Polish letters are unavailable; not the official spelling.
- **Mińsk** — Short historical and contextual name; easily confused with Minsk in Belarus.
- **Minsk** — Diacritic-free shortened name; ambiguous without the Masovian qualifier.
- **Nowomińsk** — Former official name under Russian imperial rule, 1868–1916.
- **Novominsk** — Russian-based English spelling of the former name.

## French name

**Mińsk Mazowiecki** — Same current Polish spelling as in English; no separate French exonym is selected.

Other forms in use:

- **Minsk Mazowiecki** — Accent-stripped form also encountered in French indexes and travel searches; the Polish spelling is preferred in edited French.
- **Mińsk** — Short form in historical sources; French readers need the Masovian context to distinguish it from Minsk.
- **Nowomińsk** — Former name, 1868–1916, retained in French historical references.
- **Novominsk** — Russian-derived form of the former name in French imperial-period references.

## About

Mińsk Mazowiecki is a town east of Warsaw in Masovian Voivodeship. Rail connections and its position on routes into the capital have shaped its growth.

## Notes

A different place from Minsk, the Belarusian capital. The qualifier Mazowiecki is an integral part of the current municipal name.
