# Henichesk

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Генічеськ.

Other forms in use:

- **Genichesk** — Russian-based English name, common in Soviet-era and later reporting.

- **Heniches'k** — ASCII apostrophe variant of the older Ukrainian transcription.
- **Genìčesʹk** — ISO 9:1995 character transliteration of the Ukrainian name; a technical search form, not an independently attested English exonym.

## French name

**Henitchesk** — French reference spelling, adapted to French transcription conventions; usage is not uniform across publishers.

Other forms in use:

- **Guenitchesk** — French-style Russian-mediated form, useful for older maps and press searches.
- **Genichesk** — Russian-based international form sometimes retained without French adaptation. French use is less consistent than the Ukrainian-based Henitchesk.
