Jastrzebów

Jastrzebów is a Polish toponym used for several settlements in Poland. The name derives from the Polish word jastrząb, meaning hawk, combined with the suffix -ów, which commonly indicates a place associated with the thing named. In Polish geography, places named Jastrzebów are typically small villages or hamlets that form part of a gmina (municipality) within a county (powiat) and a voivodeship.

Because multiple localities share the name, a precise reference usually requires specifying the voivodeship and county. The features of each Jastrzebów can vary, but most are rural communities whose local governance falls under the applicable gmina, with administrative ties to the broader county and voivodeship authorities. The name reflects a broader toponymic tradition in Poland that frequently uses animals or natural elements to form place names.

If you are seeking information about a specific Jastrzebów, identifying the region or nearby towns helps distinguish it from other places with the same name. Related or similarly derived names, such as Jastrzebówka or Jastrzębie, appear in various parts of Poland, illustrating the common practice of using familiar natural or animal-based elements in place names.
