Kamin-Kashyrskyi ( ) is a city in Volyn Oblast, in north-western Ukraine. It is the administrative center of Kamin-Kashyrskyi Raion. Population:
==Name== "Kamiń" means stone in Ukrainian. The second part of the name, Kashyrskyi (Koshirskyi, Kosherskyi), comes from the fact that the city was for some time owned by the princes Sangushki - Kosherskyi, who called themselves Kosherskyi after the name of their family nest Kosher. When the last of the Sangushki-Koshersky family, Adam-Olexandr, died without male heirs, the Krasytskyi, the new owners of Kamen, began to call it Kamen-Koshirsky to distinguish it from other settlements with that name.
