Horodylo is a distinct Ukrainian personal name that is derived from several microtoponyms in the Carpathian region. For example, Horodylove is a suburb of the district center Khust, and until 1947, it was an independent village called Horodylove, which extended from the mouth of the Rika River along its right bank to the villages of Iza and Lypcha in the north. Following renaming in 1946, the former Horodylove became Zarichne.Derived from this name are the toponyms (names of settlements) such as Horodylets, Horodylove, and Horodyliv, which are also found in other regions of Ukraine, including Rakhiv, Lviv, and Volyn. The Ukrainian-language record from 1662 refers to the settlement as Horodylowice, while the Polish version of the village name, Hrodiłowicz, dates back to 1443, indicating the name's ancient origin.The name is formed from the verb "horodyty," which means "to enclose," using the suffix -ilo, similarly to names like Hostylo, Dobrylo, etc. Notably, there is also a Serbian personal name from the 12th century—Gradilo—and the Ukrainian surname Horodylovsky from Lviv region.
