Zaporizhzhia (Ukrainian: Запоріжжя, pronounced [zɐpoˈrʲiʒʲːɐ] ) or Zaporozhzhia (Ukrainian: Запорожжя) is a historical region in central east Ukraine below the Dnieper rapids (Ukrainian: пороги, romanized: porohy), hence the name, literally "(territory) beyond the rapids".
From the 16th to the 18th centuries the Zaporizhzhia region functioned as semi-independent quasi-republican Cossack territory centred on the Zaporozhian Sich. Sometimes the region is referred to as Zaporozhian Sich as well. Zaporizhzhia corresponds to modern Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, major parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kirovohrad Oblasts, as well as parts of Kherson and Donetsk Oblasts of Ukraine.
