Petrovo

Petrovo is a toponym used for multiple inhabited localities in Russia and in other Slavic-speaking countries. The name is derived from the given name Peter (Petro) and the suffix -ovo, which forms a placename indicating ownership or association with a person named Peter.

In Russia, Petrovo designates numerous villages and rural settlements. The localities vary in size and administrative status and are distributed across many federal subjects, reflecting the common practice of naming places after founders, landowners, or saints named Peter.

In Bulgaria, Ukraine, and other Slavic countries, Petrovo appears as a village or settlement name as well, following the same etymological pattern. The prevalence of the name illustrates the cultural and historical influence of the name Peter within regional toponymy.

Because Petrovo can refer to several places, specific references typically include the district or region to avoid ambiguity. In encyclopedic contexts, Petrovo may be disambiguated by country and administrative division to distinguish among the various localities sharing the name.
