Baranivka (Ukrainian: Баранівка, Russian: Барановка, Polish: Baranówka, Yiddish: באראניווקע Baranivke) is a town in Zviahel Raion in the Zhytomyr Oblast of Ukraine. Prior to the 2020 administrative reform, it was the administrative centre of the former Baranivka Raion. Population: 11,161 (2022 estimate).[1] In 2001 the population was 12,584.
The name either comes from the old Slavic language, where *bara means swamp, or from Old East Slavic, where baran means ram. The Slavic meaning of the word is given not coincidentally as the town is located in close proximity to the Prypiat Marshes.
In Zhytomyr Oblast, between Zviahel and Korosten, there is another small town of Barashi, about 50 km northeast from Baranivka.
