## About

Irpin is a city northwest of Kyiv, beside the Irpin River. It grew as a railway suburb and became internationally known for the fighting and civilian evacuations during the defence of Kyiv.

## Notes

The official national romanization omits the final soft sign. Irpin also names the river, so the city and the watercourse need to be distinguished. Formal table-derived aliases are labelled separately from attested prose spellings. Coverage of romanization systems and historical aliases is not exhaustive.
