# Boryslav

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Борислав.

## English name

**Boryslav** — Current Ukrainian name, romanized under the Ukrainian national system of 2010, also adopted in the BGN/PCGN agreement of 2019; selected for present-day English use.

Other forms in use:

- **Borysław** — Historical Polish name used in English histories and family records.
- **Borislav** — Russian-based spelling encountered in older English maps, reporting and reference works; not the selected Ukrainian-based form. The same spelling also results from ISO 9:1995 applied to Ukrainian; that equivalence does not establish additional usage.
- **Boryslaw** — Polish historical spelling without the stroke on ł, common in English oil-industry and genealogical sources.
- **Борислав** — Ukrainian original-script name, included for recognition in quotations and indexes; not an English romanization.

## French name

**Boryslav** — Same spelling as in English; selected for current French use, without a fixed article. No place-specific Quai d’Orsay recommendation has been established here.

Other forms in use:

- **Borysław** — Polish historical name used in French writing about Galician petroleum.
- **Borislav** — Older Russian-mediated spelling in French reference works.
- **Boryslaw** — Plain-letter version of the Polish historical form.
