# Yakymivka

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Якимівка.

## English name

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 BGN/PCGN Ukrainian system (1965), superseded for US/UK geographical naming by the 2019 agreement gives the same spelling here.

Other forms in use:

- **Akimovka** — Russian-based English form; useful for Soviet-era and Russian-language-derived references, rather than the preferred Ukrainian name.
- **Iakymivka** — French-language form, useful when an English text quotes a French map, report or source title; not the English main name.
- **Âkimìvka** — ISO 9:1995 character transliteration; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently attested press exonym.
- **I͡akymivka** — 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.
- **Якимівка** — Original Ukrainian spelling for matching local source titles or addresses quoted in English.

## French name

**Iakymivka** — Attested French geographical-index spelling; initial I represents Ukrainian Я in this French geographical form.

Other forms in use:

- **Akimovka** — Russian-based spelling usable in French reporting and historical records; French frequency for this settlement unverified.
- **Yakymivka** — International Ukrainian spelling; French geographical indexes also record Iakymivka.
