# Manhush

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Мангуш.

## English name

**Manhush** — Historical Ukrainian name restored in 1995; national romanization (2010) gives Manhush. The same string also results from BGN/PCGN Ukrainian romanization (1965). The same string also results from ALA-LC Ukrainian romanization (2011 table).

Other forms in use:

- **Mangush** — Russian-based English spelling still widespread in reporting.
- **Pershotravneve** — Former Ukrainian Soviet name, replaced by the restored Manhush in 1995.
- **Pershotravnevyi** — Former Soviet name variant explicitly given in English references; superseded by Manhush in 1995.
- **Pershotravnevoye** — Russian form Першотравневое of the former name, superseded in 1995; not Pervomayskoye.
- **Manhouch** — French reference spelling; useful when English writing cites French titles or sources. Not asserted to be a usual English exonym.
- **Manguš** — ISO 9:1995 character transliteration; standard-derived retrieval form. Actual English textual use is unverified; not an asserted established exonym.
- **Мангуш** — Original Ukrainian spelling for matching local maps, addresses and source titles quoted in English.

## French name

**Manhouch** — Attested French geographical reference spelling; follows French transcription conventions.

Other forms in use:

- **Mangouch** — Russian-derived French name explicitly given in references.
- **Pershotravneve** — Former Ukrainian name, restored to Manhush in 1995; retained for French historical retrieval.
- **Perchotravneve** — Former-name spelling explicitly used in French historical reference text for the 1946–1995 period.
- **Perchotravnevy** — Alternative former-name spelling explicitly used in French reference text.
- **Manhush** — International spelling retained for French source matching; French reference usage also has the adapted main form above.

## About

Manhush is a settlement west of Mariupol in southeastern Ukraine. It was founded by Greeks resettled from Crimea and remains part of the region's Greek cultural landscape.

## Notes

Historical Manhush restored in 1995, replacing Pershotravneve. The district was renamed separately in 2016; those are different events. Russian Першотравневое must not be silently replaced by its translated meaning Первомайское. https://dn.gov.ua/storage/app/media/uploaded-files/HRONOGRAF.pdf Standard-derived alternatives are retrieval aids, not claims of press frequency.
