# Beryslav

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Берислав.

## English name

**Beryslav** — Current Ukrainian name in the national romanization adopted in 2010, recommended by the UN in 2012 and adopted by BGN/PCGN in 2019. BGN/PCGN Ukrainian system (1965), superseded for US/UK geographical naming by the 2019 agreement gives the same spelling here. ALA-LC Ukrainian table (2011 edition), for bibliographic retrieval gives the same spelling here.

Other forms in use:

- **Berislav** — Russian-based English form; useful for Soviet-era and Russian-language-derived references, rather than the preferred Ukrainian name. ISO 9:1995 character transliteration; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently attested press exonym.
- **Kizikermen** — Historical name of the Ottoman fortress at this site; not a current name for the town.
- **Kizi-Kermen** — Hyphenated rendering of the Ottoman fortress name used in historical accounts.
- **Kazikermen** — Alternative historical spelling of the Ottoman fortress name, recorded in English historical accounts.
- **Gazikermen** — Turkish-based historical form of the fortress name, recorded in English accounts.
- **Берислав** — Original Ukrainian spelling for matching local source titles or addresses quoted in English.

## French name

**Beryslav** — Same form as in English; retained in the French reference entry, without a separate French exonym.

Other forms in use:

- **Berislav** — Russian-based form encountered in French coverage and older references.
- **Kizikermen** — Fortress name relevant to French histories of the Ottoman frontier; not a general modern synonym.

## About

Beryslav is a town on the right bank of the Dnipro in Kherson Oblast. It stands at a historic river crossing and preserves the memory of the Ottoman fortress of Kizikermen.

## Notes

Record certainty includes transliteration and alias coverage; formal system outputs are not all attested press forms.
