The Slavic name "Khotyliub" originated from the name of the village Khotyliub in the Lubachiv District and is first mentioned in the 17th century. This name is composed of two parts, created from the verbal root "khot-" (which comes from "khotity" meaning "to want") and the root "liub-" (from "liubyty" meaning "to love"). Documents mentioning this name date back to the 17th century. For more detailed information, you can refer to D. Buchko's work "Names of the Most Ancient Settlements" (pages 53-54).
