A settlement in Ukraine; local name Станиця Луганська.

## English name

**Stanytsia Luhanska** — 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:

- **Stanitsa Luganskaya** — Russian-based English form; useful for Soviet-era and Russian-language-derived references, rather than the preferred Ukrainian name.
- **Stanichno-Luganskoye** — Former Russian name, replaced in 2007; retained for older English geographical records.
- **Stanytsia Louhanska** — French-language form, useful when an English text quotes a French map, report or source title; not the English main name.
- **Stanytsya Luhans’ka** — BGN/PCGN Ukrainian system (1965), superseded for US/UK geographical naming by the 2019 agreement; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently attested press exonym.
- **Stanytsya Luhans'ka** — Plain-apostrophe typography of the BGN/PCGN 1965 form; standard-derived retrieval variant.
- **Stanicâ Lugansʹka** — ISO 9:1995 character transliteration; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently attested press exonym.
- **Stanyt͡si͡a Luhansʹka** — ALA-LC Ukrainian table (2011 edition), for bibliographic retrieval; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently attested press exonym.
- **Станиця Луганська** — Original Ukrainian spelling for matching local source titles or addresses quoted in English.

## French name

**Stanytsia Louhanska** — Attested French reference spelling; ou represents Ukrainian у in Louhanska.

Other forms in use:

- **Stanitsa Louganskaïa** — Russian-based French transcription found in older reporting; ou and ï reflect French spelling conventions.
- **Stanitchno-Louganskoïe** — French rendering of the former Russian name, replaced in 2007; medium confidence in French textual frequency.
- **Stanitsa Louganskaia** — Diacritic-free typing or indexing variant of Stanitsa Louganskaïa for French retrieval; not a distinct official name. Textual frequency is unverified.

## About

Stanytsia Luhanska is a settlement on the Siverskyi Donets northeast of Luhansk. It grew from a Don Cossack stanitsa, and its river crossing became an important route across the front line in the war in Donbas.

## Notes

The earlier name Stanychno-Luhanske was replaced by Stanytsia Luhanska in 2007. The former administrative label should not be mistaken for a separate settlement. Record certainty includes transliteration and alias coverage; formal system outputs are not all attested press forms.
