Human settlements are named by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine under clause 29 of part 1 of Article 85 of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine On Geographical Names having been taken into consideration. Human settlements, allotted to the newly-formed rayons, have been renamed with the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine resolution of 17.07.2020 № 807-ІХ On Rayons Formation and Liquidation.

It should be mentioned that the Law of Ukraine On Voluntary Amalgamation of Territorial Hromadas, particularly, in terms of naming an amalgamated territorial hromada and its local self-government representative body as a legal entity, does not cover the legal relations. Thus, the word “amalgamated” is not used in the name of a territorial hromada, the territory of which has been approved of by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
