# Nova Odesa

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Нова Одеса.

## English name

**Nova Odesa** — 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 BGN/PCGN Ukrainian system (1965), superseded for US/UK geographical naming by the 2019 agreement gives the same spelling here.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:

- **Novaya Odessa** — Russian-based English form; useful for Soviet-era and Russian-language-derived references, rather than the preferred Ukrainian name.
- **Nova Odessa** — Older spelling retaining the established Odessa spelling for the second element.
- **Novo-Odessa** — Russian-mediated compound spelling found in older geographical material.
- **Нова Одеса** — Original Ukrainian spelling for matching local source titles or addresses quoted in English.

## French name

**Nova Odessa** — Attested French reference spelling; the established French spelling Odessa is retained in the second element.

Other forms in use:

- **Nova Odesa** — International spelling used in French source titles; French reference usage also retains double-s Odessa.
- **Nova-Odessa** — Hyphenated French reference variant; not a separate official name.
- **Novaïa Odessa** — French transcription of the Russian name, rather than the Ukrainian one.
- **Novaia Odessa** — Diacritic-free typing or indexing variant of Novaïa Odessa for French retrieval; not a distinct official name. Textual frequency is unverified.
