How to spell Halloween in Ukrainian

The correct Ukrainian spelling for Halloween is "Геловін," according to linguist Larysa Chemerys. This spelling reflects the English "h" sound with the Ukrainian "г" and omits double letters. Previously, the spelling was "Хелловін." The change to "Геловін" aligns with Ukrainian orthography rules for transliterating foreign words, specifically noting that the English "h" is represented by "г" and that double letters are not typically carried over from common nouns. While "Геловін" is the officially recognized term, alternative, unofficial Ukrainian names like "Нечистень" and "Страшвечір" have been proposed by users to enrich the language.
