Lugovoy (village)

Lugovoy is a common place name in Slavic-speaking regions, particularly in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. It generally refers to a village or settlement situated near or within a meadow or floodplain area. The word derives from the Slavic root "lug" (луг), meaning meadow or grassy field. Consequently, "Lugovoy" can be translated as "meadow village" or "village in the meadow."

The presence of several villages sharing this name often necessitates specifying the region or district when referring to a particular Lugovoy. These villages typically have an agricultural character, owing to the fertile lands associated with their meadow location.
