# Velyka Lepetykha

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Велика Лепетиха.

## English name

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

- **Velikaya Lepetikha** — Russian-based form explicitly recorded in international references; the Russian name also appears as Bolshaya Lepetikha.
- **Bolshaya Lepetikha** — Russian name explicitly given in the English reference entry; both words differ from the Ukrainian form.
- **Velika Lepetiha** — ISO 9:1995 character transliteration; standard-derived retrieval form, with actual English prose use unverified.
- **Велика Лепетиха** — Original Ukrainian spelling for matching quoted local source titles, maps and addresses.

## French name

**Velyka Lepetykha** — Same form as in English; used in French geographical reference headings.

Other forms in use:

- **Velikaïa Lepetikha** — Russian-derived French transcription explicitly given alongside the Ukrainian form.
- **Grand Lépétykha** — Partly translated French Wikidata label, with Grand for Velyka; the French reference heading instead retains Velyka Lepetykha. Low certainty as a general French usage.
- **Velikaia Lepetikha** — Diacritic-free typing/indexing variant of Velikaïa Lepetikha for French retrieval; independent prose frequency is unverified.
- **Grand Lepetykha** — Diacritic-free typing/indexing variant of Grand Lépétykha for French retrieval; independent prose frequency is unverified.
