Braków

Braków is a Polish toponym used for several villages in Poland. The name derives from the Polish noun brak, meaning lack, shortage, or absence, with the common -ów suffix that forms place names. In general grammar, braków is the genitive plural form of brak, but when used as a proper noun it identifies a specific locality rather than describing a lack.

Geography and administration: There are multiple settlements named Braków distributed across different voivodeships (regions) of Poland. Each Braków is a distinct village or hamlet, typically part of a rural gmina within a county (powiat). Because the name is used in several places, the precise administrative affiliation varies by location.

Notability and usage: In Polish geographic references, Braków often appears in disambiguation contexts to distinguish between the several Brakóws. The name is a common example of a toponym formed from a root word describing a feature or condition (in this case, lack or absence) plus a suffix that is frequently used for place names.
