== Etymology == There are at least two versions of the origin of the town name. The first is connected with the term derkach, the Ukrainian name for the corncrake that inhabits the banks of the local Lopan river. Another version links the name to that of a legendary cossack Derkach who, it said, was the town's founder. After 1943, the Soviet local authorities rejected the Ukrainian variant of the name with letter к and began to use only the Russian version, with the letter г (Dergachi in Russian; Derhachi in Ukrainian). Later, the Russian-influenced spelling was officially installed in Ukrainian official settlements classification. Currently, there is an initiative to return the historic name Derkachi.
