# Marinka

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Мар'їнка.

## English name

**Marinka** — Current Ukrainian name in the national romanization adopted in 2010, recommended by the UN in 2012 and adopted by BGN/PCGN in 2019.

Other forms in use:

- **Maryinka** — Widely used Russian-based English spelling, also resembling older Ukrainian transcription.
- **Marynka** — Simplified English press spelling.
- **Mar'inka** — English spelling preserving the Ukrainian apostrophe; not the national 2010 form.
- **Marïnka** — French spelling, useful when an English text cites French maps, titles or historical sources; not the selected English main form.
- **Mar”yinka** — BGN/PCGN Ukrainian romanization (1965); a standard-derived search form, not evidence of an established English exonym. Textual occurrence has not been independently verified.
- **Мар'їнка** — Original Ukrainian spelling, useful when matching quoted local maps, addresses and source titles in English.

## French name

**Marïnka** — Attested French reference spelling; the adaptation follows French transcription conventions rather than English spelling.

Other forms in use:

- **Marinka** — Russian-derived form explicitly recorded in French references.
- **Mariinka** — Alternative indexed French spelling, without the diaeresis; not the strict Ukrainian national form.
- **Maryinka** — International spelling used in French news reporting; French publications do not use one uniform form.

## About

Marinka is a city west of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine. Fighting during Russia's war against Ukraine has devastated its buildings and displaced its community.

## Notes

Input Q2494365 correctly identifies the Ukrainian city. The unqualified English Marinka page can lead to a disambiguation item; do not replace the city ID with Q1097023. No current population or military-control claim is made. System-derived alternatives are retrieval aids, not claims of press frequency. Reference pages checked 2026-11-15: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marinka ; https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marïnka. Some reference requests failed during research; surviving checks and unresolved usage limitations are distinguished above.
