ivskyi

Ivskyi (Ukrainian: Івський) is a Ukrainian-language surname and, less commonly, a toponymic adjective formed with the suffix -ський (-ський). The root likely derives from a place name with the stem Ivsk- or from the given name Ivan (Іван), reflecting Ukrainian patterns that form adjectives and surnames indicating origin or affiliation. The masculine form is Ivskyi; the feminine Ukrainian form is Івська (Iv'ska), with transliteration variants such as Ivska in English renderings.

In transliteration from Ukrainian and other languages, the name may appear as Ivsky or Ivskij, among others, depending on linguistic conventions.

Ivskyi may refer to individuals who bear the surname or, in historical documents, to descriptors tied to a place associated with the Ivsk- root. The name is most commonly found among Ukrainian-speaking populations and in diaspora communities with Ukrainian heritage, and it may appear in records influenced by Polish or Russian orthography.

As a generic surname and toponymic form, Ivskyi serves as a linguistic item illustrating Ukrainian surname formation with the -ський suffix, rather than pointing to a single person, place, or event.
