# Zhdanivka

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Жданівка.

## English name

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 BGN/PCGN Ukrainian system (1965), superseded for US/UK geographical naming by the 2019 agreement gives the same spelling here.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

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

## French name

**Jdanivka** — Attested French reference spelling; French j renders ж.

Other forms in use:

- **Zhdanivka** — International spelling also used in French; Jdanivka uses French j for ж.
- **Jdanovka** — Russian-based French form given alongside the Ukrainian name in French reference material.

## About

Zhdanivka is a small city in the coalfield of Donetsk Oblast. Its closely spaced mines and industrial settlements form part of the urban belt around Khartsyzk and Khrestivka.

## Notes

Zhdanivka is retained. The city was not part of the 2016 renamings checked here; its etymology is disputed in secondary discussion. Do not infer a new name solely from its similarity to Zhdanov. Record certainty includes transliteration and alias coverage; formal system outputs are not all attested press forms.
