Etymology
The toponym is formed using the suffix + -овъ (-ov) from the name Харько́ (Xarʹkó), Харко́ (Xarkó), colloquial form of Харито́нъ (Xaritón), which comes from Ancient Greek Χαρίτων (Kharítōn). The stress on the first syllable is due to the influence of Ха́рѧ (Xárja).
Originally there was a hydronym Ха́рьковъ коло́дезь (Xárʹkov kolódezʹ, “Kharko's river, stream”). Already after the founded settlement probably had the name *Ха́рьковъ ху́торъ (*Xárʹkov xútor, “Kharko's khutor, farmstead”).[1]
Proper noun
Ха́рьковъ • (Xárʹkov) m inan
- Kharkiv (a city in Ukraine)
