Mykhaylo Semenko → Mykhail Semenko – The two most WP:COMMONNAMEs in reliable sources are Mykhail and Mikhail (respective Ukrainian and Russian romanizations of Михайль, which is spelled identically in both languages), per Google Books Ngram.
The variation Mykhail is preferable because it is:
- Based on Ukrainian orthography
- Corresponds to WP:UKR and the Ukrainian national romanization
- Corresponds to the modified Library of Congress romanization used in academic and popular-academic publications and bibliographies
- Distinguishable from the common Russian given name Mikhail (Михаил)

oppose'Mykhaylo' meets all those criteria—blindlynx 02:02, 7 January 2023 (UTC)- Mykha*lo with -o instead Mykha*l’ is the less-used version of the subject’s name, and the WP:UKR, national, and LOC systems would romanize either with i for й, not y. —Michael Z. 03:28, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- fair, transliterating the russian version through Ukrainian still feels weird though—blindlynx 15:55, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Is it? Ukrainian Wikipedia calls him uk:Михайль Семенко. I will look at some sources. —Michael Z. 16:21, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- 'Михайло' is the standard Ukrainian version, the Ukrainian spelling of 'Михайль' is 'Михаїл'—blindlynx 16:30, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- not of this name but of the name in general—blindlynx 16:31, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- I’m aware, but this appears to be a distinct variation from either modern Ukr. Михайло My·khaĭ·lo), historical Ukrainian Михаїл (My·kha·ïl) or Rus. Михаил (Mi·kha·il), all having three syllables.
- It has two syllables, spelled Михайль in both languages (Ukr. My·khaĭlʹ, Rus. Mi·khaĭlʹ).
- Still to check other sources. —Michael Z. 17:50, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

- The poem in Makaryk and Tkacz 2010:185 is the clincher for me, indicating that Mykhaĭlʹ is the artist’s own chosen name, as evidenced in his Ukrainian poem, “Self-Portrait”:
