From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Ukrainian Ха́рків (Xárkiv) (compare (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Russian Ха́рьков (Xárʹkov), whence Kharkov). The city is named after the Kharkiv River. A folk etymology says the city and river are named after a Cossack called Харко́ (Xarkó), from Харько́ (Xarʹkó), from Greek Χαρίτων (Charíton), but there is no hard evidence supporting this.
