## English name

**Khust** — 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:

- **Huszt** — Hungarian historical name common in English accounts of Carpathian Ruthenia.
- **Chust** — Czech, Slovak and historical Polish form used in English histories.
- **Hust** — Older English form without the initial kh. The same spelling also results from ISO 9:1995 applied to Ukrainian; that equivalence does not establish additional usage.

## About

Khust is a town in Zakarpattia Oblast, near the meeting of the Rika and Tysa rivers. Ruins of a hilltop castle overlook the town and the surrounding valley.

## Notes

The Hungarian form is not a recent official renaming. Khust was a political centre of Carpatho-Ukraine. Romanization policy: https://mfa.gov.ua/en/correctua . ISO 9 forms are systematic search aids, not independently attested exonyms.
