# Żywiec

A settlement in Poland.

## English name

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

Other forms in use:

- **Saybusch** — German historical name used in English accounts of the Habsburg estates and wartime expulsions.
- **Zywiec** — Plain-letter spelling without the local diacritics, used in English systems that cannot retain them; the main form preserves the native spelling.

## French name

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

Other forms in use:

- **Saybusch** — Historical German name relevant to French accounts of the Habsburgs and the German occupation.
- **Zywiec** — French plain-text and search variant without native diacritics; the main form keeps the local spelling.

## About

Żywiec is a town in southern Poland where the Soła and Koszarawa meet, near the Beskid mountains. Its castle complex and brewery are widely associated with the town.

## Notes

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