# Krolevets

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Кролевець.

## English name

**Krolevets** — Current Ukrainian name in the national romanization adopted in 2010, followed by BGN/PCGN since 2019; selected as the English main form.

Other forms in use:

- **Krolevetsʹ** — Soft-sign-marked Ukrainian romanization.
- **Krolevets'** — Plain-apostrophe form marking the final soft sign.
- **Krolewiec** — Historical Polish spelling of this town, not to be confused with Królewiec for Königsberg.
- **Krolevecʹ** — ISO 9:1995 transliteration of the Ukrainian spelling, supplied as a systematic bibliographic search form. This does not establish ordinary English usage.
- **Кролевець** — Ukrainian original-script name, useful in quotations and bilingual indexes; not a romanized English name.
- **Królewiec** — Polish historical name of this Ukrainian town, also used for Königsberg in a different context. High confidence: listed in the Polish official geographical names register.
- **Krolewez** — German historical form listed by JewishGen for the town; retained for English genealogical and historical searches.
- **Krolovets** — Yiddish-derived historical spelling in English Jewish-history sources.
- **Kroleviets** — Older English genealogical spelling listed by JewishGen.
- **Korolevets** — Variant spelling in English Jewish genealogical indexes, not the selected modern name.
- **Krolevec** — Historical scholarly-style form listed in English Jewish genealogical references.
- **Krolevets’** — BGN/PCGN 1965 Ukrainian romanization; a historical standard superseded by adoption of the Ukrainian national system in 2019. Supplied as a systematic search form.
- **Krolevet͡sʹ** — ALA-LC 2011 Ukrainian romanization; a systematic library-catalogue search form with the prescribed ties and soft-sign marks, not a separate English exonym.

## French name

**Krolevets** — Same as in English; editorial choice for French reference use. A place-specific official French recommendation has not been established.

Other forms in use:

- **Królewiec** — Polish historical designation useful in French histories of the Commonwealth. This name is ambiguous with Königsberg, so the Ukrainian context is essential.

Krolevets is a town in Sumy Oblast in north-eastern Ukraine. It is known for a distinctive tradition of patterned woven towels.

## Notes

This is Krolevets in Sumy Oblast. Polish Królewiec ordinarily refers to Königsberg/Kaliningrad, so the two should not be collapsed.
