# Oława

A settlement in Poland.

## English name

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

Other forms in use:

- **Ohlau** — Historical German name used in English historical and genealogical writing; not the current Polish name.
- **Olawa** — Spelling without native diacritics, used in English plain-text indexes and international search; not a separate exonym.

## French name

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

Other forms in use:

- **Ohlau** — German historical name retained in French writing about the former German town; not the ordinary present-day French name.
- **Olawa** — French plain-text and search variant without native diacritics; the main form keeps the local spelling.

## About

Oława is a town in Lower Silesia, south-east of Wrocław, near the Oder and the Oława river. Its castle is associated with the Silesian Piast dukes.

## Notes

Input label 'Олава' is Ukrainian or an indirect spelling; local\_name is restored to the native-language form.
