Other forms in use:
- Hvardiyske — Older Ukrainian-based spelling retaining y for й; also used in English accounts of the nearby airfield.
- Gvardeyskoye — Russian-based English form; useful for Soviet-era and Russian-language-derived references, rather than the preferred Ukrainian name.

- Spat — Historical name of a constituent settlement, not an unrestricted synonym for the whole modern place.

French name
Hvardiïske — Attested French reference spelling; the diaeresis in ï keeps the vowel sequence visible. French reporting also uses the Russian-based Gvardeïskoïe, especially for the airbase.
Other forms in use:
- Gvardeïskoïe — Russian-based French spelling used by Le Parisien and the Fondation pour la recherche stratégique in 2022, particularly for the airbase.
- Sarabuz — Crimean Tatar historical name retained for French historical retrieval; not asserted to be the enacted current name.
- Hvardiiske — International Ukrainian spelling also found in sources quoted by French writers; Hvardiïske adds a diaeresis.
- Gvardeiskoie — Diacritic-free typing or indexing variant of Gvardeïskoïe for French retrieval; not a distinct official name. Textual frequency is unverified.
About
Hvardiiske is a settlement north of Simferopol in Crimea, Ukraine. It stands near the Salhyr and a military airfield, and the name Sarabuz survives in accounts of the area's railway and aviation history.
Notes
Sarabuz restoration appears in proposals from 2023–2024; adoption was not established. Hvardiiske remains main. Sources disagree over 1944/1945 and the relationship between Sarabuz and Spat; no single amalgamation date is asserted. UA follows internationally recognized sovereignty.
