Ivano-Frankivsk is an aw kent tae Ukrainians bi a deep-ruitit alternative name: Prykarpattia. This oblast, thegither wi Lviv an Ternopil regions, wis the main body o the historic region o eastren Halychyna; which in the 13t century wis a pairt o the Kinrick o Rus an the Halych-Volyn Principality. Along with the Lviv an Ternopil regions Prykarpattia is a component o the Carpathie Euroregion.
