- **Bučač** — ISO 9:1995 character transliteration; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently attested press exonym.
- **Бучач** — Original Ukrainian spelling for matching local source titles or addresses quoted in English.

## French name

**Boutchatch** — Attested French reference spelling; ou and tch adapt the Ukrainian consonants and vowel to French spelling.

- **Buchach** — International Ukrainian form found in French source titles.
- **Butschatsch** — German historical form, encountered in French writing on Austrian Galicia.
