==Etymology== The origin of the name ''Hutsul'' is uncertain.<ref name="EIU2004">{{cite book|title=ГУЦУЛИ|url=http://www.history.org.ua/?termin=Guculy|author=Ковпак Л.В.|work=Encyclopedia of Ukrainian History|year=2004|publisher=[[Naukova Dumka]], [[NASU Institute of History of Ukraine]]|volume=2|language=uk|isbn=966-00-0632-2|quote={{lang|uk|Г. – нащадки давніх слов'ян. племен – білих хорватів, тиверців й уличів, які в 10 ст. входили до складу Київської Русі ...

Rom. ''hoț'' "thief", ''hoțul'' "the thief"), and the [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] ''kochul'' (Ukr. ''kochovyk'' "nomad") which is a reference to the semi-[[nomad]]ic shepherd lifestyle or the inhabitants who fled into the mountains after the [[Mongol invasion of Europe|Mongol invasion]].<ref name="EOU">{{cite book|author=Nicolae Pavliuc, Volodymyr Sichynsky, Stanisław Vincenz|url=http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CH%5CU%5CHutsuls.htm|title=Hutsuls|work=[[Encyclopedia of Ukraine|Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine]]|publisher=[[University of Toronto Press]]|year=2001|isbn=978-0802033628|volume=2|quote=According to K. Milewski and Józef Korzeniowski, the name hutsul was originally kochul (‘nomad,’ cf literary Ukrainian kochovyk), which became kotsul and then hotsul, and referred to inhabitants of Kievan Rus’ who fled from the Mongol invasion into the Carpathian Mountains. Other scholars (eg, Ivan Vahylevych) believed that the name derives from a subtribe of the Cumans or Pechenegs—the ancient Turkic Utsians or Uzians — who fled from the Mongols into the mountains. S. Vytvytsky proposed that the name derives from Hetsylo, the brother of Prince Rostislav of Moravia, or from the name of a tribe allied with the Ostrogoths—the Horulians-Hutsians. Since the 19th century the most widely accepted view (held by Yakiv Holovatsky, Omelian Kaluzhniatsky, Omelian Ohonovsky, Ivan Krypiakevych, Volodymyr Hnatiuk, I. Pătruţ, and others) has been that the name comes from the Romanian word for brigand, hoţul/hoţ. The Soviet scholar Bronyslav Kobyliansky claimed that the Hutsuls are descended from the Slavic tribe of the Ulychians who resettled in the Carpathian Mountains. Based on the first written mention of the name (1816), Stefan Hrabec and Volodymyr Hrabovetsky believe the name is of recent origin and that it was originally a nickname given to the region's inhabitants by the neighboring Boikos ... The Slavic White Croatians inhabited the region in the first millennium AD; with the rise of Kievan Rus’, they became vassals of the new state.|orig-year=1989}}</ref><ref name="EIU2004"/> Other proposed derivations include from the [[Turkic peoples|Turkic]] tribe of the [[Oghuz Turks|Utsians or Uzians]], and even to the name of the [[Great Moravia|Moravian]] Grand Duke Hetsyla, among others.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kosivart.com/eng/index.cfm/do/hutsulshchyna.name-origin/ |title=Hutsulshchyna: The Name and Origin |access-date=2008-07-23 |publisher=KosivArt}}</ref> As the name is first attested in 1816, it is considered to be of recent origin and as an [[Exonym and endonym|exonym]], used by neighboring groups and not Hutsuls themselves, although some have embraced it.<ref name="EOU"/> The region inhabited by Hutsuls is named as Hutsulshchyna.<ref>{{cite book|title=Hutsul region|work=[[Encyclopedia of Ukraine|Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine]]|url=http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CH%5CU%5CHutsulregion.htm|author=Volodymyr Kubijovyč, Nicolae Pavliuc|year=2001|orig-year=1989|publisher=[[University of Toronto Press]]|volume=2|isbn=978-0802033628}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=ГУЦУЛЬЩИНА|url=http://www.history.org.ua/?termin=Guculshchyna|author=Закревська Я.В.|work=Encyclopedia of Ukrainian History|year=2004|publisher=[[Naukova Dumka]], [[NASU Institute of History of Ukraine]]|volume=2|language=uk|isbn=966-00-0632-2}}</ref> Their name is also found in the name of Hutsul Alps,<ref>{{cite book|title=Hutsul Alps|work=[[Encyclopedia of Ukraine|Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine]]|url=http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CH%5CU%5CHutsulAlps.htm|year=2001|orig-year=1989|publisher=[[University of Toronto Press]]|volume=2|isbn=978-0802033628}}</ref> Hutsul Beskyd,<ref>{{cite book|title=Hutsul Beskyd|author=Volodymyr Kubijovyč|work=[[Encyclopedia of Ukraine|Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine]]|url=http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CH%5CU%5CHutsulBeskyd.htm|year=2001|orig-year=1989|publisher=[[University of Toronto Press]]|volume=2|isbn=978-0802033628}}</ref> [[Hutsulshchyna National Park]],<ref>{{cite book|title=Hutsulshchyna National Nature Park|author=Volodymyr Kricsfalusy|work=[[Encyclopedia of Ukraine|Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine]]|url=http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CH%5CU%5CHutsulshchynaNationalNaturePark.htm|year=2011|publisher=[[University of Toronto Press]]}}</ref> and [[National Museum of Hutsulshchyna and Pokuttia Folk Art]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Kolomyia Museum of Hutsul Folk Art|work=[[Encyclopedia of Ukraine|Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine]]|url=http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CK%5CO%5CKolomyiaMuseumofHutsulFolkArt.htm|year=2001|orig-year=1989|publisher=[[University of Toronto Press]]|volume=2|isbn=978-0802033628}}</ref>
