# Kurman

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Курман.

## English name

**Kurman** — Current Ukrainian name in the national romanization adopted in 2010, recommended by the UN in 2012 and adopted by BGN/PCGN in 2019. BGN/PCGN Ukrainian system (1965), superseded for US/UK geographical naming by the 2019 agreement gives the same spelling here. ISO 9:1995 character transliteration gives the same spelling here. ALA-LC Ukrainian table (2011 edition), for bibliographic retrieval gives the same spelling here.

Other forms in use:

- **Krasnohvardiiske** — Former official Ukrainian name; Kurman was adopted in the 2016 Crimean renaming resolution, brought into force in 2023.
- **Krasnogvardeyskoye** — Russian name retained under occupation; corresponds to the former Ukrainian name replaced legally by Kurman in 2023.
- **Qurman** — Crimean Tatar Latin spelling of the restored name.
- **Kurman-Kemelchi** — Earlier historical name found in English records.
- **Qurman Kemelçi** — Crimean Tatar form of the longer historical name.
- **Курман** — Original Ukrainian spelling for matching local source titles or addresses quoted in English.
- **Qurman Kemelci** — Diacritic-free typing or indexing variant of Qurman Kemelçi for English retrieval; not a distinct official name. Textual frequency is unverified.

## French name

**Kurman** — Same form as in English; selected for French source matching. An established distinct French exonym or press preference was not verified.

Other forms in use:

- **Krasnohvardiiske** — Former Ukrainian name for French source matching; legally replaced by Kurman in 2023 following the 2016 resolution.
- **Krasnogvardeïskoïe** — French transcription of the Russian name, still used under occupation.
- **Qurman** — Crimean Tatar Latin name for matching French texts quoting local names.

## About

Kurman is a settlement in the central steppe of Crimea, Ukraine. It developed beside a railway station and serves the surrounding agricultural area.

## Notes

Resolution 1352-VIII adopted Kurman in 2016 with delayed effect. Law 3334-IX of 2023 removed the delay, so the old claim that the name will apply only after de-occupation is obsolete. Russian occupation usage retains Krasnogvardeyskoye. UA is the sovereignty code. Record certainty includes transliteration and alias coverage; formal system outputs are not all attested press forms.
