In Polish and Ukrainian terminology, the range is commonly called the "Eastern Beskids" (

:
Сх?дн? Бескиди
;
Polish
:
Beskidy Wschodnie
), while in Slovakia, the term
Meadowed Mountains
(

) is also used. The scope of those terms varies in accordance to different traditions and classifications.
At the three-way border, portions of the Slovak
Bukovec Mountains
(
Slovak

Bukovske vrchy
), the Polish
Bieszczady Mountains
(
Polish
:
Bieszczady Zachodnie
), and the adjacent "Uzhanskyi National Nature Park" and Nadsianskyi Regional Landscape Park in Ukraine form the transnational
East Carpathian Biosphere Reserve
.
